VIRGINIA WATER, England – Rory McIlroy is a self-described golf fan. He might even sway toward being a golf nerd and it’s that passion that has made the Northern Irishman an outspoken critic of slow play.
McIlroy has repeatedly lobbied for stricter enforcement and more targeted efforts to speed up the habitual offenders, and on Wednesday at the BMW PGA Championship he set his sights on last week’s Solheim Cup.
“I watched and I don't want to single out particular people, but I watched a lot of the Solheim Cup at the weekend, and it was really slow,” he said.
