Rory McIlroy kept it absolutely real Thursday, saying he showed up to the first round of the RBC Canadian Open hungover off wine. He celebrated his caddie’s birthday the night prior to the tournament kicking off.
McIlroy had a slow start, not making a single birdie on the front nine. However, he ratcheted things up and finished with a four-under 66 on his card. His score placed him in a tie for third.
Following the round, McIlroy spoke with the media and revealed that he was “groggy” after he celebrated the birthday of Harry Diamond, his caddie and childhood friend.
In the second round of the RBC Canadian Open, McIlroy has a tee time of 12:55 PM local time.
Rory said he was a little groggy this morning after having a couple glasses of wine celebrating caddie Harry Diamond’s birthday last night. No birdies on the front but rallied for a 66. Solid start in his bid for a 3rd title.
