Did Rory Orchestrate Lawsuit Filing With GMac's Wedding?

Loving this Team Europe chemistry!

Dearbhail McDonald files another Irish Independent story on the court filings in Rory McIlroy vs. Horizon Sports Management, and now comes the revelation that McIlroy's suit may have been filed on "D-day." That was Graeme McDowell's wedding day, so claim Horizon's lawyers.

Horizon, led by MD Conor Ridge, has claimed that Mr McIlroy issued legal proceedings against the agency in September 2013 to "inflict maximum reputational damage through the media" on Mr Ridge and Colin Morrissey, his trusted lieutenant.

Horizon says Mr McIlroy knew both men were attending 'G-Mac's' September 28, 2013, marriage to Kristin Stape, an American interior designer.

Trial is set for January, though a preliminary hearing may have to take place in a Gleneagles team room for the sake of team unity.
