RORY MCILROY IS injured everybody.
Bad enough to miss The Open? Probably. Bad enough to send the Twittersphere into a frantic Monday morning tizzy? You betcha!
Some people on Twitter instantly hit the nail square on the head

Questions bring snap conclusions

What this grievance process needs is some gallows humour
Oh, God it gets worse and worse
*Breaks down at thought that McIlroy may never win The Open on one particular course*
The big bummer here - you don't get many chances to win the Open at St. Andrews. Rory will be 31, 36 and 41 for the next three at the Old.— Shane Bacon (@shanebacon) July 6, 2015

Tears a ligament and ends up on crutches...? Sounds like Rory McIlroy's modelling his game on mine.— Mark McFadden (@MarkMcFadden) July 6, 2015

Doc, what do you think?
McIlroy's ankle ATFL rupture and capsule damage doesn't necessarily mean he needs surgery, could be severe sprain.— Samuel Carter (@SamCarterMD) July 6, 2015

World's second best golfer highly likely to miss Open Championship. McIlroy injured in a football kickabout. Bet Nike are pissed with him.— Tony Ansell - Wizard Of Odds (@progambler47) July 6, 2015

Some not so subtle and very keen on dragging other sports into the sledging match.
ANOTHER Brit injured playing football, face it @englandcricket, Rory McIlroy, oh, and the #FA - you're just not very good at it.— Simon (@Badgercricket) July 6, 2015

And of course, we can’t talk about McIlroy without talking about the way McIlroy talks, can we?

And for those lambasting Rory for using the term "soccer" in that post: chill. He also used "kickabout," which negates any Americanization.— Stina Sternberg (@StinaSternberg) July 6, 2015
