Els regrets not trying to talk McIlroy out of Honda walkout

Ernie Els regrets not making more of an effort to talk Rory McIlroy out of his shocking decision to walkout at the Honda Classic.

But despite efforts by McIlroy’s management company to defuse tomorrow’s face to face with the media ahead of the WGC-Cadillac Championship, the 23-year old continues to add fuel to the already raging fire of controversy.

After confessing to Sports Illustrated in an online interview on Monday that walking off “was not the right thing to do”, the world No 1 will have more questions to answer today over a Twitter exchange with pop star Ronan Keating and the meaning of the hashtag #FTB.
