NASSAU, Bahamas – Following a final-round 74 at last month’s DP World Tour Championship that dropped him from the lead into a tie for sixth, Rory McIlroy was photographed in the scoring area with a torn shirt.

McIlroy was asked about the incident on Wednesday at the Hero World Challenge. “I pulled on my collar and it ripped. I don't know if I've ever done it before,” he said.

When pressed for more information about the incident, which came after a particularly bad break when he bounced his approach at the 15th hole off the flag stick, McIlroy offered only a terse response.
