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.
Shanna,
Interesting interpretation of Rory’s decision – thanks for your input,
Will
