Ahead of the Alfred Dunhill Links this week, Rory McIroy was asked about how he ended up in a kilt and ginger wig during the Europe's Ryder Cup celebrations.
McIlroy said that could not recall how it happened as his memory got a "bit fuzzy about midnight."
What he did remember though was a 'prank' (a very generous description) which some members of the US team played on him.
I slipped out of the European team room around 10pm to join my friends and parents in the bar and I got a text from Keegan Bradley about 10.30 that was very funny, basically just inviting me to the US team room.
But when I got there there’s two security guys at the door who said I’m not sure they’re letting anyone in at the moment. I said ‘What are you talking about?’ and he said he’d go and check.
So I’m standing there at the US team door for five minutes, which just felt so strange. Then he comes back and says Patrick Reed says they’re not letting anyone in yet.
Patrick Reed! So I said ‘fine’ and went back to the European team room to find a couple of the US guys waiting in there. They had obviously planned it and had a good laugh at me.
So we all piled into the US team room and had a good time with everyone. It was a great way to cap off a great week.
That US team is some lark.
