A five-under par 65 today for McIlroy at the Renaissance Club.
RORY MCILROY HAS revealed he has dismissed a suggestion that he could be a playing captain in the 2027 Ryder Cup at Adare Manor.
“I’ve contemplated it for Adare and no, there’s too much work that goes into it. I’ve seen what Luke went through preparing for Rome – there’s no way you can be as good a captain as you need to be and be a playing captain as well.” “If you want to be the best captain you can be you can’t play, and if you want to be the best player you can be you can’t captain.
“It seems quite reactionary in terms of what happened in Rome but I don’t know,” said McIlroy, who was told of Bradley’s appointment by European captain Donald on Sunday evening. The world number two chipped in for an eagle on the third hole, his 12th of the day, and also recorded five birdies, but missed good chances on three of his last five holes.
