Rory McIlroy suspects a certain caddie\u2019s birthday festivities may have contributed to his sluggish start at the RBC Canadian Open.<\/p>\n
Reflecting on Thursday\u2019s opening round to Golfweek, McIlroy \u2014 who shot a 4-under 66 after posting an even-par 35 on the first nine holes at Hamilton Golf & Country Club in Ontario \u2014 suggested an early tee time following a celebratory dinner for pal and caddie Harry Diamond the night before did not make for a winning combination.<\/p>\n
\u201cA bit of a slow start,\u201d said McIlroy, who teed off at 7:40 a.m. Thursday. \u201cHarry\u2019s birthday dinner last night so had a couple of glasses of wine. I was probably feeling a little groggy when I woke up.\u201d<\/p>\n
McIlroy, 35, rallied on the back nine with four birdies.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll tee off Friday at 12:55 p.m. as he seeks his third RBC Canadian Open victory.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s been a chaotic few weeks for McIlroy, whose divorce from wife Erica Stoll was revealed earlier this month, with the Belfast Telegraph reporting the docs were served to Stoll via a private investigator.<\/p>\n
McIlroy and Stoll wed in 2017 and share a daughter, 3-year-old Poppy, with whom they\u2019re seeking split custody.<\/p>\n
McIlroy competed at the PGA Championship the same week his divorce was revealed, finishing 12-under par and tying for 12th.<\/p>\n
Before the tournament began, officials asked the media to refrain from asking McIlrory questions about the shocking split.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe you all saw the statement yesterday from Rory\u2019s communication team specifically that he will not be making any additional comments on his private life, so thank you all for respecting his wishes,\u201d the moderator said at the start of McIlroy\u2019s media session on May 15.<\/p>\n
The golfer\u2019s camp issued a statement the previous day noting McIlroy \u201cwill not be making any further comment\u201d on the matter, and \u201cstressed Rory\u2019s desire to ensure this difficult time is as respectful and amicable as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n
McIlroy was not in the field for last weekend\u2019s Charles Schwab Challenge in Fort Worth, Texas, instead spending time with family and friends.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went to one of my best friend\u2019s wedding in Italy for four days, which was a lot of fun, good to see a lot of people from home I haven\u2019t seen in a long time,\u201d McIlroy said Wednesday, per Golf Week. \u201cYeah, it was actually a really good trip, I needed it. Then I had a lovely, I had a great weekend at home. Spent time with my family and with Poppy and, yeah, it was awesome. So I needed that reset. I\u2019m playing four weeks in a row here, so, yeah, I\u2019m ready to go, but, yeah, it\u2019s been a busy stretch and I\u2019m sort of easing my way back into it. I probably hit a grand total of probably 150 balls last week.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
