RORY McIlroy has hit out at how news of his driver failing a compliancy test at last month’s PGA Championship was “leaked”, admitting he was “pissed off” over how the situation was handled.

Making his first appearance in front of a microphone for three weeks, McIlroy opened up ahead of this week’s RBC Canadian Open in Toronto. At the PGA Championship in Charlotte last month he had refused to speak to the media for four straight days as a controversy around the testing of players’ clubs rumbled.
