‘Madness’of Rory’s massive itinerary must end

ONE of the first aspects on the agenda of Horizon Sports Conor Ridge in managing the affairs of Rory McIlroy has been to curb the ‘madness’ of his client’s heavy end-of-season schedule.

McIlroy disclosed soon after dropping two shots over his closing three holes on day two of the UBS Hong Kong Open that he spent four days in hospital after contracting an illness while competing last month in China.

The US Open champion carded a one under par 69 in Hong Kong to head the weekend rounds tied at seven under par with Spain’s Alvaro Quiros who signed for a similar score on the suburban Fanling course.
