Woods putted like Mick Foley

Woods putted like Mick Foley.

McIlroy and his fellow young Europeans have a lot more Merry Prankster in them than the autonomous Woods and Mickelson had, as kids.McIlroy played host to high school friends, one of whom got overserved Thursday night and slept until 6 p.m., missing McIlroy's Friday round.The fun ended when McIlroy couldn't break 80 Sunday. In Amen Find Golf Courses In New York City Corner he lost his storied poise completely and, for the first time, seemed far younger than 21.He regained it in time to graciously congratulate Schwartzel, via Twitter, and laugh when others tweeted that they didn't know those cabins on No. 10 existed until McIlroy somehow drove a ball between them.Clearly the golf world is waiting for McIlroy to prove that humanity and dominance are not mutually exclusive.But while McIlroy blamed it on inexperience, perhaps the quality that Phillies manager Charlie Manuel calls "complacence" was also part of it.Beforehand, Chandler talked of "life after Tiger" and said that McIlroy's Saturday round was "the key" to a victory that hadn't happened yet.

McIlroy wouldn't do the talk shows, Chandler said, but would fly from Atlanta to London to Kuala Lumpur for this week's tournament."The first flight will be a lot of drinking and the second will be sleeping," Chandler said.A few minutes later, Eugene Fayne sat on a bench and listened to Irish writers talk about McIlroy "closing the circle," since Padraig Harrington had won the PGA and British Open and Graeme McDowell the U.S. Open.
