Rory McIlroy rages at ‘s*** present’ at BMW PGA as he faces anxious wait over minimize

Rory McIlroy labelled the BMW PGA Championship a “s*** show” after he and different golfers have been pressured to play their second rounds at nighttime. McIlroy overcame adversity and loads of frustration to maintain his hopes of constructing the minimize within the BMW PGA championship alive on the loss of life.

The World No 2 was left ready on the seventeenth and 18th tees for a chronic interval alongside three teams of equally bemused golfers after foggy circumstances wreaked havoc on the match’s schedule.

An 80-minute delay to the beginning of play left McIlroy racing to the end line below the duvet of darkness. A final-gasp birdie on the 18th moved him simply contained in the minimize line.

However, the Northern Irishman will not discover out whether or not he has made it via to the ultimate two rounds at Wentworth till Saturday morning as soon as the remaining teams have completed.

McIlroy, by no means afraid to let his emotions be identified, vented his anger on the scenario. “It was a ****-show. The fog obviously delayed things but I’ve never remembered having that many players on 17 and 18,” he mentioned.

“It’s not as if they teed us off in tighter slots or anything. We’re the last group to maybe get done, so we were maybe fortunate that way, but it’s hard for me trying to play the last well and make the cut – it was a bit of a mad dash and a scramble to get finished.”

“I have not been at my best the last couple of days but I don’t feel I am too far away,” he added. “Hopefully I get an opportunity to play a couple more rounds here and try to finish the week off on a positive note.”

McIlroy wasn’t the one one who was totally unimpressed by the tempo of play. Paul McGinley repeatedly affirmed that it was an “absolute disgrace” on the Sky Sports broadcast. “Four hours 40 minutes is about the average these days for a three-ball, and even that is too long. They have got to find ways to speed up the pace of play. Enough is enough now,” mentioned McGinley.

In the top, it took McIlroy, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg (the ultimate group to complete) an agonising 5 hours and half-hour to finish their spherical of golf.
