Seminole regular Rory McIlroy not much of an asset to GB&I Walker Cup team

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – It seems like a missed opportunity for the Great Britain and Ireland Walker Cup team.

Rory McIlroy, a member of the 2007 GB&I team and an 18-time PGA Tour winner, lives in South Florida and is a regular at Seminole Golf Club, where the Walker Cup is being played this weekend. But when asked if he’d provided any course insight to the visiting team the Northern Irishman’s answer was somewhat surprising.

“I went to the dinner party a couple weekends ago with the U.S. Walker Cup captain [Nathaniel Crosby],” McIlroy laughed Friday following his round at the Wells Fargo Championship.
