9 of the quickest reactions to Rory McIlroy golfing with Trump

Rory and Trump played together on Sunday.

DONALD TRUMP LOVES a bit of golf. Sure doesn’t he own a golf course in Doonbeg?

Over the past three weekends, Trump has flown out to his private Florida club on Air Force One to get in a few holes.

On Sunday, he had a very special guest… Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy.

In a photo posted by Clear Sports, Rory stands beside Trump, and Clear Sports chief executive Garry Singer, with Paul O’Neill, a former New York Yankee, at Trump International.

The lads.

Rory late told website nolayingup.com that he played 18 holes with Trump.

He probably shot around 80. He’s a decent player for a guy in his seventies!

People weren’t happy, at all.

1. But look, maybe he had a plan?

McIlroy playing and reporting Trump shot 80 is possibly a bigger fuck you to @realDonaldTrump than refusing. That's gotta be eating him up

Idea for a TV program: "Tee with Tyrants". Rory McIlroy travels the world playing golf with various despots.

It's funny @McIlroyRory avoided #Rio Olympics because of a parasite but yet plays with @realDonaldTrump #irony

9. For future reference…

Hint to @McIlroyRory - next time @POTUS asks you to play golf tell him you're a refugee from a country renowned for terrorism.
