McIlroy and former PGA champ in Twitter spat
Rory McIlroy and 1995 PGA Championship winner Steve Elkington swapped a number of spicy tweets on Saturday.
Elkington was reacting to McIlroy’s missed cut at the ongoing US Open at Erin Hills, saying the Northern Irishman looks ‘bored’ with golf.
What followed was a series of punches and counterpunches. Read it all here for yourself…
