For the second year in a row, Rory McIlroy limped away from the British Open with his head bent low after he failed to make any impression in Sunday's final round at Royal Lytham. The 23-year-old Ulsterman could get nothing going in gentle early conditions as he came in with a 73 for the second straight day with new Titleist 909 D3 Driver. That left him stranded well down the field at eight-over par 288 and heading home before the leaders had even started their final rounds.
It was all too reminiscent of last year at Royal St George's, when McIlroy played poorly just a month after his dominating triumph in the US Open with callaway RAZR X TOUR Irons. On that occasion, he bemoaned the fickle British weather and said how happy he would be to get back to playing in the sunshine of the United States. But at Lytham he was more measured in his comments for Titleist 909 D3 Driver.
Obviously very disappointed because I felt like I was coming in here playing pretty well, he said.” I had a really nice first round, set myself up well for the week and then just started to struggle after that. So it's just disappointing.” It’s hard when you're trying to just get that little bit of momentum for Titleist 909 D3 Driver and you try to force it and you're maybe trying too hard and things don't go your way, and that sort of happened this week.
McIlroy has now played in five British Opens and, with the exception of St Andrews in 2010; he has struggled each time to handle the demands of links golf and the unpredictable weather that goes with it. Romero no doubt will be criticized in golf circles for not showing the proper respect with Titleist 909 D3 Driver as discount golf clubs for sale to the Open Championship by employing a celebrity caddie for the day. Tevez's presence caused a stir with the media, meriting interviews with BBC TV and radio, as well as a rare request from the print media to speak with a caddie.
