McIlroy keeps expectations low

Rory McIlroy has moved to dampen expectations that he can make a successful debut in The Players Championship this week at TPC Sawgrass.

After a much-needed two-week lay-off that saw him take in Las Vegas for Ricky Hatton’s ill-fated date with Manny Pacquiao last Saturday, McIlroy resumes competition at the PGA Tour’s flagship event.
