‘Not 21 or 22 Anymore’: As Rory McIlroy Gears Up For His Mykonos Bash, Team Europe Captain Shrewdly Addresses the Elephant in the Room

Some golfers even make crucial decisions to make their games stronger. However, Rory McIlroy is unique. His plans a week before the Ryder Cup are not usual. And the European Ryder Cup captain has reminded him to be rational. Let’s dive in to learn more!

The captain addresses McIlroy’s plan

The captain of the European Ryder Cup team this year is

Luke Donald. He replaced Henrik Stenson when Stenson’s participation in LIV Golf cost him the distinction. Donald is making sure that the European squad will perform with the same magic that the Thomas Bjorn-led team did in France.McIlroy’s presence in the team is essential since he is one of the European players seeking to contribute to the team’s first Ryder Cup victory since 2018. But his plans before the Ryder Cup are wild. McIlroy will go to Mykonos for a friend’s bachelor party just one week before the Ryder Cup. Though this does not concern Donald, he did talk about it with McIlroy.

At the press conference before the Irish Open, a reporter asked Donald if he was concerned about McIlroy’s future plans. Donald answered that going out and having fun with friends is perfectly acceptable. And

McIlroy is wise enough to act in everyone’s best interests. ”It’s not like Rory is 22 or 21. He understands,” said Donald. ”He’s got wise enough shoulders to know that he won’t go crazy, so no concerns there.”Seeing the Irishman’s recent performances, we are also not concerned about his stag party plans. But let’s see what Donald anticipates from a four-time major champion. Keep moving!

High expectations from McIlroy

The reporter continued with his questions. He asked Donald if he expected an Irishman to take the main leadership role in the Ryder Cup.Read More: Amid a Gigantic $17.5 Billion Triumph, Rory McIlroy Drops a Massive Tiger Woods Revelation Tying Him and 14-Year-Old Charlie Together

To that, Donald replied that he would like McIlroy to take the lead with his golf clubs. ”If he win, can go out there, and if he’s playing four or five matches and win three or four of those; I think lead by example and lead with his golf clubs,” said Donald.
