More-Candid-Than-Normal Feherty On Tiger, Rory

Speaking at the Ireland launch of a GolfNow campaign, David Feherty says he's having a hard time seeing Tiger playing due to nerve issues in his back, not because of desire issues.

Brian Keogh reports for the Irish Golf Desk:

“I don’t think he needs to do this. He wants to do this. He really really does. But I am not sure that he can. I am not sure he is in any way clear on whether the can either.”

And Feherty on Rory...cover your eyes kids, here comes a Cialis ad.

“It’s hard for me to commentate on Rory in the US without a massive boner because I love the kid and want him to do well,” said the 57 year old, who could the 1986 Bell’s Scottish Open among his five European Tour wins but famously lost the trophy.

A recovering alcoholic, Feherty revealed that McIlroy had a few drinks to celebrate his K Club win on Sunday but nothing compared to some of his own or fellow Ulsterman Darren Clarke’s antics.

“Rory got wrecked,” Feherty said. “But not totally wrecked. He needed a couple of Advil this morning. He didn’t do a Clarkey.
