Between media obligations and a cross-country flight home, Rory McIlroy had a hectic schedule on Sunday evening after winning the AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. That didn’t keep him from enjoying a certain Californian delicacy as part of his celebratory meal.
McIlroy was back in action in a Tuesday night TGL match. It was there where the four-time major champ detailed Sunday’s fun flight that included scarfing down a major cheat meal and some booze.
“Yeah, so probably tapped my last putt in at about 3:00 p.m. local time, was wheels up at 5:30, had two In-and-Out Burgers by about 6:00, had a couple bottles of wine by about 8:00 and then landed back into Palm Beach by 1:00 a.m.,” McIlroy told reporters at the SoFi Center after his Boston Common Golf lost to Los Angeles Golf Club.
Fast-food burgers and wine. What a combo!
“Didn’t really do anything yesterday, but I came in here with Keegan today about noon to practice and hit some shots and just familiarize myself with the environment,” McIlroy added. “Yeah, yesterday was a nice day off, but today got a workout in, got a good practice session done, and then obviously you saw us tonight.”
What a whirlwind! Of course, it helps when you’re flying private.
Anyway, good for Rory. He deserved some time to celebrate and relax after that performance. And if he ever wins the Masters, we now have an idea of what he might serve at the Champions Dinner.
