Rory McIlroy Irish Open Time Controversy

Here’s a summary of the ⁢article, focusing on the key points:

Rory McIlroy was ‍frustrated by being put on ⁤the clock during the first round of the Amgen Irish Open. Despite being known as a fast player, he felt rushed due to the large galleries and extra television coverage following ‍his group.
He argued for leeway. ⁢ McIlroy believes DP World Tour officials should use⁢ “common sense” and recognize that his group naturally takes⁣ longer due to ⁢the crowds and camera crews.
His game was affected. He felt “agitated” and dropped two shots in his closing three holes, finishing with a one-under-par 71.
Positive outlook despite finish. ‍While disappointed with the finish, McIlroy was generally encouraged by his play and the quality of his shots throughout the round. He felt a par ⁤on the last three holes would have resulted in a very good round.
