Rory McIlroy solves media silence – with sharp messages

Oakmont, Pennsylvania – This has become a speculation in the assembly media for major tournaments: Rory McIlroy will say the rear wheel, isn’t it?

He was much late. A few times in the Masters, it took a full four days at the PGA Championship, the first two days of this week’s U.S. Open. It surprised him when he walked towards the microphone by Oakmont’s clubhouse after 44/74 on Saturday, which left him unbalancedly outside the top 50.

(One side soon – I personally don’t have a strong feeling about the player’s “need” to talk to the media. Of course, when I like them, I think the conversation will make them good, but we don’t have the right to master their time or words, and will be instantly slammed the world, and these people are certainly acceptable, which is a constant answer.

The meeting started a bit awkward. Is this media conference about this week’s game or is it talking more broadly about his media conference? McIlroy was asked to evaluate his American openness and started the tone with the answer of two words (“quite average”).

He provided some insight into his actual game, and even offered a glimmer of hope: “I’ve caught the ball for a long time, so this week is at least positive,” he said.

McIlroy has admitted some post-graduate discomfort as he won a professional grand slam. He also elaborated on this: “I mentioned this at a pre-summer press conference and you really don’t know how it will affect you. You don’t know you’ll react to an A like this Change your life The occasion, but at least I dreamed of something for a long time. I mentioned the fact that yes, I felt a little flat on the golf course afterwards. ”

It is fair to say that McIlroy didn’t have the most motivation after falling Friday. He shrugged essentially, describing his cut allegations as he sneaked in the last seven holes.

“It’s fun, like it’s much easier to be on the cut line when you don’t care if you’re here on the weekend.” “I’m thinking, do I really want to want to be here for another two days?”

Say he didn’t caregiven that he pounded the club in the final hole and smashed the t-shirt markers, and given that McIlroy is one of the most famous paramedics ever. But I understand. Finally, a reporter asked McIlroy about his habit of skipping post-interviews.

Is this part of the frustration of the golf course? What do you attribute it to?

McIlroy said, “No, it’s not true. This is frustrating for you.” Oh! It was a particularly sharp message, and he clearly prepared for the delivery. In what way?

“I just yes, I don’t know,” he added. “I have, I’ve been using it completely over the last few years, and I’m not saying – maybe not you Guys, but maybe it’s just the whole thing. ”

This clarification at least makes people more meaningful. The world of golf media is not particularly big, and McIlroy has a affectionate relationship with most rally reporters. His problem with “the whole thing” seems to be the source of the problem – a larger media device. Whether this means post-interviews, news status or something more specific remains an open question.

Does this stem from the frustration of McIlroy’s leaked driver test at the PGA Championship? Yes, no, he said.

“Yes, that’s part of that,” McIlroy said. But not the whole thing. It seems not – like, in Augusta, I skipped you guys on Thursday, and yes, again, it’s not different. I’ve done it before; I just do it more frequently. ”

A reporter asked if McIlroy’s forward and focus were long enough to win the right to skip.

He smiled and said, “I feel like I’ve won the right to do whatever I want, yes.”

Earlier this week, McIlroy explained that professional golfers have the flexibility to talk to journalists and will continue to exploit unless the tournament is forced to play. Some speculate that it was McIlroy taking some stance, essentially challenging the tour to demand supply from the media, but he explicitly denied that.

He said, “No, I dare not do anything.” hope They won’t change it because it’s a nice luxury. But I just point out the fact that we have the ability to do so. ”

The meeting ended with ultimate simplicity and indifference. What is McIlroy open on Sunday?

“Hopefully, in less than four and a half hours, and get out of here,” he said.

That’s it. The group thanked McIlroy for the time, and left the interview area and walked up the stairs to enter the club in Oakmont.
