Rory Still Really Sorry About Having A "Mistake" Toothache
/Rory McIlroy's entered the Honda Classic, as have several other big names, but in announcing his attention to play, McIlroy keeps apologizing for WD'ing with a dental issue. Yet never mentions how his wisdom tooth thingy turned out.
Rory McIlroy admits he has "unfinished business" and "should have adopted a more mature approach" rather than walking off as he played his 27th hole in last year's Honda Classic.
In a statement issued through his management company at the time, he later said that a wisdom tooth problem had led to his sensational decision to high tail it out of the event.
He apologised at the following week's WGC-Cadillac Championship, explaining: "I realised pretty quickly that it wasn't the right thing to do. No matter how bad I was playing, I should have stayed out there. I should have tried to shoot the best score possible even though it probably wasn't going to be good enough to make the cut.
"At that point in time, I was just all over the place, and you know, I saw red, as I said, and you know, it was a mistake and everyone makes mistakes and I'm learning from them. I guess for me, some people have the‑‑ I guess the pleasure of making mistakes in private. Most of my mistakes are in the public eye. So it is what it is, and I regret what I did. But, you know, it's over now and it won't happen again."
Translation: the tooth was pulled!
