PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – Jon Rahm got over it almost immediately.

Rory McIlroy still seemed miffed, nearly 48 hours later.

The two superstars apparently had wildly different impressions of what transpired over the weekend at the Arnold Palmer Invitational, a tournament won by Scottie Scheffler but defined more by the course conditions that a vocal few said were over the top.

Admittedly “complaining” after another weekend 76 dropped him out of the top 10, McIlroy criticized the setup at Bay Hill, saying that something needed to change in future years or that players will start skipping the event to prepare for the $20 million Players Championship.
