AUSTIN, Texas – Following his Round of 16 loss to Tiger Woods at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play on Saturday, Rory McIlroy declined multiple requests to talk with the media.

The Northern Irishman had rallied to cut Woods’ lead to 1 up before conceding the 16th hole after having to take a penalty drop and needing six strokes to reach the green. Less than two hours after his 2-and-1 defeat he posted a statement on Instagram.

Onwards and upwards.... thanks to all the fans for coming out to the course in Austin this week.
