Rory's Dad, Caddy Are Dragged Into The Horizon Lawsuit

An unbylined Belfast Telegraph report says that Gerry McIlroy and caddie J.P. Fitzgerald are going to be dragged into their man's Horizon lawsuit by the defendants, ordered to produce documents of some kind.

Rory's lawyers found this to be a surprise.

McIlroy's counsel, Rossa Fanning, said his side was "very surprised" by the application by the sports company to see Gerry McIlroy's documents. He is not a party to the case.

The Co Down golfer's caddy, JP Fitzgerald, has also been ordered by the court to produce documents by the management company so it can defend Mr McIlroy's claim that an agreement he made is invalid.

Mr. Fitzgerald, did you or did you not scribble the words "ten percent max" on Mr. McIlroy's pin sheet at the HSBC Classic?
