Rory Shoots 66; Embarks On First UNICEF Trip Next Week

Steve Elling on Rory McIlroy's impressive pre-U.S. Open schedule that includes a trip to Haiti next week.

"You want to associate yourself with a charity that you feel close to, and UNICEF works mainly as a children's charity, and I feel like I'm the sort of age that I can relate to the younger people," he said. "I just don't want to really put my name to it, I wanted to do something, and they were very keen for me to go and see somewhere where they're hands on and they're working, and it sort of just fit in quite well that I could go to Haiti for a couple of days and see what they do."
