BBC Sport – Rory McIlroy walks out of Honda Classic citing wisdom tooth pain

The defending champion withdrew after hitting his second shot into the water on the 18th – his ninth – and slumping to seven over par for the day.
As he left, McIlroy told journalists he was not in a good frame of mind.
McIlroy managed to find the fairway with his tee shot on the 18th, but his approach landed in the water and the 23-year-old called it a day.

I agree with Rory McIlroy’s decision to quit the Honda Classic. He was simply unable to concentrate and didn’t want to affect his playing partners. It’s definitely better to apologize for a sudden withdrawal than having to apologize for a bad performance. So he took the right decision in my opinion.
