Rory McIlroy would ‘think twice’ about tee-time with Donald Trump

No wonder Rory McIlroy finds the Masters stressful.

The world number two may be chasing history at Augusta National this week as he bids to become only the sixth player in golf to win a career grand slam but that does not stop him having to field questions about his judgement in playing a round with US President Trump.

His decision to accept an invitation to a game of golf from the leader of the free world has been dogging McIlroy since pictures emerged of his time on the course with Donald Trump back in February and the subject was raised once more last night as the 27-year-old faced the media during his pre-Masters press conference.
