Rory’s treat to fan hit by stray drive

Rory McIlroy made amends for the tee shot that struck teenage spectator Jason Blue on the head by putting the 16-year-old up in a Lytham hotel room last night.

McIlroy had seen his tee shot at Royal Lytham & St Anne’s 15th hole yesterday bounce out of bounds off Blue’s head.

The golf fan from Bristol suffered a cut to his head but was given prompt medical attention and was bandaged and sitting up by the time McIlroy reached him.
