Westwood, in Vegas, jokes Rory gave him tickets

For four days we've been wondering if Rory McIlroy would make it from San Francisco to Las Vegas for the Manny Pacquiao-Floyd Mayweather fight. And now we have our answer:

With the fight likely to start between 11:30 p.m. and midnight, and McIlroy stuck in his quarterfinal match with Paul Casey, he finally gave up trying to make it.
