Kenny B Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 It's been 10 years since Rory turned pro. He was at Dubai in 2008. Has it really been that long?? He is excited to put 2017 behind him, and is ready to get underway in 2018 in Abu Dhabi at the HSBC this weekend. However, McIlroy recently revealed "a bit of an irregularity with my heart that I have to keep on top of. “I have a flat T-wave and I'll have to get an echo [cardiogram] on my heart every six months and an MRI scan every year. “I suffered a really bad viral infection in China 18 months ago and they told me that's the reason that I have this thickening of my left ventricle and there's a bit of scar tissue. For now, I just need to stay on top of it and have to stay fit. Hey, I was planning on doing that anyway.†What does 2018 have in store for Rory McIlroy? “We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 Really hoping Rory and Day can have bounce-back years. Throwing those two into the mix with DJ, Spieth and Thomas would make for some unbelievable golf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfspy_CG2 Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I wish I could answer that. I hope he stays healthy and on top of his game this year. Because to me, there's nobody more exciting among the current players, than when Rory is playing at his best. And Rory at his best is up there with DJ at his best, that ultimately is a shootout I'd love to see coming down the stretch at the US Open one day soon!! Or perhaps the Masters, as he was in the pursuit of the career Grand Slam.

revkev Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 I'm not much of a fan. Sorry to hear about his heart though. Best wishes there. I don't dislike him it's just highly unlikely that there wouldn't be a more sympathetic figure for me in the hunt and I would root for him (or her if it ever comes to that) down the stretch.

Shankster Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 He's on the same page of the book as JT and JS for me. Great golfers, just a little too “somethingâ€.... Rahm-Hammer is getting close to this page. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTexGolfer Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I hate watching Rahm play. Puts Tour Sauce on every missed putt, arms out hands to his face or outstretched like he was robbed by the golf gods on a 40 footer that didn't even sniff the hole. Just a little too demonstrative for my tastes. I want to like Rory but the excuses can get a little old sometimes. He puts on a clinic driving the golf ball though! And I loved it he video Carolina posted the other day of him against the European Tour robot so he does seem to have a good sense of humor. 400 Driver (8*) UST ATTAS Punch 6S F6 Baffler (16*) Matrix Red Tie 65Q4 816 H1 Hybrid (21*,23*) Diamana S+ Blue 82 HY Z765 (5-PW) +2* Aerotech Steelfiber i110cw Vokey SM5 50.08F 54.10M Aerotech Steelfiber i110cw PM Grind 60* Dynamic Gold S400 TR 1966 Anser 2 Z Star ball Pioneer Cart Bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommc23 Posted January 27, 2018 Share Posted January 27, 2018 I'm not a Rory fan once he said he won't play golf for fun any more and that he doesn't care to keep playing past 40. At the rate he is going he won't even make 40 with the injuries he always gets. Rahm does get annoying with the way he acts about every putt. It would be nice if more guys were like DJ and just let it roll off and not bother them. I do like Spieth but him getting frustrated gets annoying sometimes I would rather see him play like he did after the 13th in the open this past year with the fire he had there.

tommc23 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Looks like Rory is trying to lose the Dubai tournament today with poor course management. Twist face is also not working well for him.
