The cause of Rory McIlroy’s food poisoning
Perhaps you saw the AP report this morning that Rory McIlroy is suffering from food poisoning and missed the WGC-HSBC Champions Pro-Am.
“After hitting a few shots on the range, he felt pain in his stomach and decided to stop,” the report reads. (And good move to retreat to the hotel room, we think.)
Thus, the Ulsterman is laid up, acting out this scene from Parks and Recreation, hoping to be well enough to take on Sheshan International in Thursday’s opening round.
So, the question the golf world is dying to know the answer to: What culprit laid the No. 3 golfer in the world low?
Fear not, golf fans, we have the answer. The villain: a club sandwich.
And in an historic moment for professional golf: This may be the first time an elite PGA Tour player resorted to the use of the particular brown, smiling emoji pictured above.
Get well, Rory, and maybe the eel was the way to go…

Feel badly for Rory – but what’s worse is food poisoning and having to drive 2 hours, and having to stop every 15 minutes to find and run to a gas station rest room.

Are you sure you used “pedant” correctly? It’s meaning is: a person who is excessively concerned with minor details and rules or with displaying academic learning.
