Bunker shot
Leading up to the 2022 Open Championship, it looked like everything was in Rory McIlroy’s favor. At St Andrews on Saturday, the four-time major champions produced what could be their signature moments, should they go on to win.
Playing in the final pair, McIlroy sat back and watched partner Victor Hovland play, who was tearful to charge into the lead, while 36-hole leader Cameron Smith was stuck in neutral.
McIlroy made a solid start of his own, with three birdies in his first nine and zero dropped shots, but it was on hole 3-6 compared to Howland’s four-straight birdie. At the time, Howland stood at 14 under, Rory with a back.
Career earnings
Rory has earned over $34 million in his professional career so far. By 22 he was the youngest player on the European Tour to earn €10 million. He became the youngest player on the PGA Tour to earn $10 million in 2012 at the age of 22.
Meghan markle
Meghan’s “busy night” with Rory McIlroy in New York left the golf superstar on par, Tom Bower’s explosive new book reveals.
The author explained how Meghan grew closer to the superstar in August 2014 while she was with then-partner chef Cory Vitiello.
Meghan, then 33, met Rory, 25, when she was staying with a close friend near the Fitzpatrick Manhattan Hotel, where McIlroy owned a suite, they write.
During the ice-bucket challenge craze, McIlroy “unexpectedly” nominated Meghan.
Bower writes: “She accepted the challenge, on the condition that Rory come to her friend’s apartment and personally pour the bucket over her on the balcony. After the video was posted, the two went to the Fitzpatrick Hotel to have a drink.
Bower writes that they had dinner at the lavish Cipriani restaurant in a party of 20 and were photographed sitting together.
Shirtless
McIlroy was raised Roman Catholic and has identified as Irish, Northern Irish, and British.
He holds a British passport, although he is usually hesitant to discuss his nationality in detail.
In June 2014, McIlroy announced that he would represent Ireland (if he qualified) at the 2016 Olympic Summer Games, where golf became an Olympic event for the first time since 1904.
