Rory McIlroy Launches Tirade on Twitter
Rory McIlroy was in complete control at the U.S. Open, but his recent tantrum via Twitter suggests that is not always the case for the young star.
US Open champion Rory McIlroy launched a seething reply to criticism of his form by Jay Townsend via social networking site Twitter.
Townsend, a former European Tour player and now a pundit for radio, criticized McIlroy’s game on the micro blogging site following a mini collapse at the Irish Open.
McIlroy surrendered a strong position of four-under par to finish one under, including hitting a double bogey at the last hole on the opening day of the tournament.
This caused Townsend to post on the website: “McIlroy’s course management was shocking. Some of the worst course management I have ever seen beyond under-10 boys’ golf competition.”
And almost immediately, McIlroy responded on Twitter by telling Townsend to “shut up. You’re a commentator and a failed golfer, your opinion means nothing!”
This prompted Townsend to say he stands by his comments, to which the Irishman responded: “Well I stand by my caddie.”
In a later interview, McIlroy said that he had blocked the pundit on Twitter after claiming that Townsend had been ‘having a go’ at his caddie ‘every now and again’.
McIlroy has been with caddie JP Fitzgerald since mid-way his first full season as a professional in 2008.
The 22-year-old has since become the youngest winner of the US Open since 1933, during which Fitzgerald was on the bag as usual.
Sports betting pundits note how McIlroy is seven shots adrift of leader Jeev Milkha Singh who is eight-under-par, leading the field by three shots.
Open champion Darren Clarke carded a 69 to finish one shot ahead of McIlroy, but countryman Graeme McDowell carded a one-over-par opening round.

Wonderful posting. I normally would comment a lot more however , I happen to be on my mobile. I’ve book marked this blog and thus expect to return as soon as I get home.
This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
I’ll gear this review to 2 types of people: current Zune owners who are considering an upgrade, and people trying to decide between a Zune and an iPod. (There are other players worth considering out there, like the Sony Walkman X, but I hope this gives you enough info to make an informed decision of the Zune vs players other than the iPod line as well.)
The subsequent time I read a blog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as a lot as this one. I imply, I know it was my choice to read, however I actually thought youd have something interesting to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something that you can repair for those who werent too busy in search of attention.
