Rory Decides He’s More Irish Than British

Rory McIlroy has made the right choice in declaring that he's no longer feeling more British than Irish, choosing Ireland as the country he'll play for in the Rio 2016 Olympics. Assuming he qualifies. I like his chances now that he's chosen Ireland.

Chris Cutmore reports:

McIlroy has long faced a difficult and highly political decicion over his allegiance. He grew up playing golf for Ireland but admitted to Sportsmail in September 2012 - shortly after the London Olympics - that he has 'always felt more British than Irish.'

But the 25-year-old two-time major champion admitted he has already made his choice during a press conference ahead of this week's Irish Open at Fota Island.
