ST. ANDREWS, Scotland—Injuries are a part of any sport but when such situations take place that are self-created during the height of the season one has to wonder if the person’s head is really clicking on all cylinders.
Rory McIlroy, the world’s No. 1-ranked player, suffered a ruptured ligament in his left ankle while playing soccer with friends on July 4 and then announced a few days later he would not be defending his title at The Open. There is no set time table when McIlroy will return to competition.
No doubt a number of people have weighed in and said the situation was just an unlucky one.
