Poor Rory McIlroy.
He made a mistake that is easy to understand for those who travel internationally.
Be careful what you eat.
Apparently Rory chose the wrong menu item on Monday in Shanghai, where he is one of the headliners in the WGC-HSBC Champions event that gets underway on television tonight in the U.S.
McIlroy was forced to withdraw from the event’s Wednesday Pro-Am thanks to a case of food poisoning.
“I’m not feeling great to be honest,” Rory said as he tries to recover for his first round tee time. “I had something a couple of nights ago and yesterday wasn’t great at all.”
