1. Mon lit a vu plus de Netflix que d'action ces derniers temps, et c'est tout à fait normal👄

2. So youre telling me drivers get longer the more you hit them? Terrible analogy because tires get worse and worse.

   Also youre wrong drivers get weaker and lose the tramp effect as time goes on….

   His driver was just not conformimg period…not used to long.

3. So he won the Masters with an illegal driver ?

4. This is the reason he said in the interview "I wish I could still play it" in regards to his old M2 when asked what his favorite driver ever was. It wasn't because TM wouldn't let him, its for this exact reason

5. Utter nonsense! It’s purely that the heads are built so tight to the limits that every so often one will come out just over and therefore be non-conforming. Nothing to do with how many balls he’d hit with it, he was just unlucky!

6. Rory cheated in the masters

7. Roy McCoy cheatin frfr

8. I've never noticed a driver hitting further over time. I've been playing 20 years

9. Nothing to see here… Move along… Taylor’s material weakness… Nothing to see here…

10. Just heading out to buy a rubber mallet…

11. It's absolutely 💯 not fair play if it's random selection.
    It was the most fair game in the world, so I thought. Now allowing some players to use non comforming equipment and punish the unlucky lottery.

12. Love how much golf media is defending McIlroy for this. If it was any player on the LIV golf tour they’d be calling for bans, suspensions, fines etc.

13. This is stupid

    Golf rules are becoming increasingly more stupid

14. Qi10 is approved by usga. So he play with it.
    For clubs construction reasons or change of specs overtime
    Not Rory intentions or faults

15. Why aren’t the players testing their drivers to be sure they conform. Because they don’t want to. They want the advantage. They know less face gives them an edge. You can call it cheating by ignorance.

16. If he wasn't randomly selected then he would have been playing with an illegal club. Why aren't all being tested before a tournament so no one slips through the cracks with an unfair advantage

17. Balls go FURTHER off thin faces? You’d think the opposite

18. And just wondering how long he has using a non confirming club. Last week, Masters???

19. He's a cheat

20. With all the data pros have these days there's absolutely no way Rory, or any of the pros, do not know exactly what the spring effect of their driver is.

21. Cheater

22. The driver face gets thinner??? Do players play them out of the sand bunkers??

    Factory QA would have nothing to do with it.

    And only Tom Brady might understand you car tire comparison.

23. Then test the entire field

24. rory cheatilroy

25. Anyone else this headline expands and derives a negative narrative yet The golden Rory shower prevails and it's his driver's fault and not the owner. Garbo.
