Silence PGA of Rory Mcilroy turned the celebration into confusion

Charlotte, NC – If you want to know how Rory Mcilroy feels to bypass four consecutive days of possible press conferences in PGA championshipYou don’t have to dig deep into the archives to detect.

His latest comments on the subject came only a few weeks ago. In his press in front of the tournament in masters, Mcilroy replied Collin Morikawa’s assertion that he does not “owe” the press “nothing by offering his perspective on the matter. Mcilroy’s response left behind a small room for interpretation.

“I think (Morikawa) could have formed it a little better, but see, any other athlete, whether in NBA, NFL, they are forced to talk to you guys after a game,” Mcilroy said. “We are not. If this is something that PGA Tour looks at putting it in their rules and regulations, but as long as it is not the case and we have the opportunity to give up whenever we want, we expect boys to do it from time to time.”

After all, Mcilroy’s silence in this PGA championship, against the backdrop of Question for his driverIt is not the reason for this story. While there are words that should be written for responsibility Pro Golfists face their relationship with the press, there is little doubt about the letter of law. Mcilroy exercised his rights this week in Quail Hollow taking the fifth.

The root of this story is uncertainty – The same thing that extinguishes Mcilroy comments on the masters. Uncertainty is a dangerous thing for an athlete of Mcilroy’s stature. It leaves room for evil actors to capture the narrative control and turn it into something that is not. It gives the idiots oxygen. He delivers the most powerful tool in the athlete’s famous arsenal: his or her perspective.

Let’s talk about what we know. USGA, on behalf of America’s PGA, conducted routine driver’s conformity test in a third of the field in The empty quil. According to reports, numerous drivers’ heads, including Mcilroy’s Tayormade Qi10, failed testing, which, again, is not abnormal. Mcilroy’s driving was significantly worse with his Qi10 reserve than it has been over the last few months (though not as different from the way he played with his old head in the Truist championship last week). Finally, in the four days after this initial report, Mcilroy rejected four requests for interview by the media gathered at the PGA Championship, finally launching Quail Hollow on Sunday afternoon without a word since his pre-Turneut press conference.

whether Mcilroy’s driver failed USGA testing, the failed test would suggest nothing bad about Mcilroy or setting its equipment. Pro Golfists swing at unbreakable speed and require clothing that pushes against permissible boundaries. After many repeated strokes at high speeds, Driver’s faces may delay legal thickness And sometimes even cave or crack.

“Results (of driver tests) are kept confidential to protect players,” Kerry Haigh PGA said in a PGA statement. “(Players) are not aware that the club has fallen out of conformity and is not responsible for not falling into accordance, except the club hit thousands of times.”

So if the problem is not That the Mcilroy driver may have turned on the test, what is it? The problem is that we still don’t know what happened. Because Mcilroy did not speak, a seemingly humorous equipment story has emerged in one of the titles of the week; Everything else that happened in the first great Mcilroy beginning of that magical end in Augusta National has also remained a mystery. Due to the mcilroy’s cucumbered lips, a week of celebration has been replaced with confusion.

Even given his sharp sense of his rights as a tournament competitor, it is unusual for Mcilroy to be so timid by the camera. The public knows this, which is why some of the worst actors on the Internet have already received Rory’s silence as a plea or some kind of coverage. Surely, there is something unclear in the game, Carnival Barkers Chirp, because why wouldn’t Mcilroy speak?

I do not share their concern. According to my assessment, regarding less Interesting story about Mcilroy week at the PGA Championship is the condition of his driver. If Rory had talked about the failed test on Thursday afternoon, it is likely that Thursday afternoon is the last time I would have thought of his driver – or someone else.

Choosing not to speak, the driver’s head is left inside my head, and everyone else. Mcilroy’s twilight has created uncertainty. Perhaps, the devil on your shoulder whisper, a bigger story IS In the game, and Mcilroy placed walls to protect it.

The point is, I don’t know. No one does it. Mcilroy’s decision to call Such uncertainty is curious about a player who entered the fresh PGA championship in the most historic week of his career and ready to spend the next few months riding a wave of triumph.

Maybe Mcilroy is avoiding questions about his driver. Maybe he is making a point for empowering players. Maybe he has been burned after so long in the spotlight. Maybe he has already caught in all his karmic chips. Maybe he is just upset.

Whatever his reason, it is possible that Mcilroy forgot why so many players who are not forced to talk about the press still do: because it is useful for them to put the record directly in their words.

In the PGA championship, Mcilroy chose the silence. In the process, he produced noise.
