Day One! Rory Already Defies Team Europe Dress Code

Everyone else got the message on team shoes but as Tweeter Alliss noticed, Rory McIlroy has already deviated from the playbook in what can only be a sign that the World No. 1 intends to steadfastly defy captain Paul McGinley at every opportunity.

Or something like that.

Meanwhile, the bold sports coats would seem to back up Gary Evans’ assertion that we could be in for some stellar fashion “faux pars” this week.

The crocodile skin motif for Team Europe’s golf bags and head covers won’t be winning any awards from PETA.
