SIMON LEWIS: ‘Rusty’ McIlroy needs action

Rory McIlroy is in San Antonio, Texas, this week.

Nothing unusual about being at the latest PGA Tour stop, of course, except he should have been heading to Haiti on another one of his much-lauded humanitarian visits on behalf of Unicef.

This is not a criticism of turning his back on Haiti, McIlroy will visit the poverty-stricken earthquakle-devastated Caribbean nation again soon enough, just as he did before winning the US Open in 2011. But with a week to go until the first major of the year, the recently-deposed world number one’s meticulously planned Masters preparation has been thrown into a heap.
