DUBLIN, Ohio – Rory McIlroy withdrew from Wednesday’s pro-am at the Memorial for “personal reasons,” and he expanded, slightly, on that Friday following his second round.
“It's fine now. Just a little bit of a family emergency,” Mcllroy said without adding any more details.
McIlroy is at even par following back-to-back rounds of 72 despite untimely mistakes like his tee shot that sailed out of bounds on the 10th hole during the first round on his way to a double bogey-6.
But the biggest difference this week for McIlroy has been how the par 5s have played following Jack Nicklaus’ makeover of Muirfield Village after last year’s tournament.
