On Monday, Breitbart reported that Irish golfer Rory McIlroy came back early from a rehab stint for a stress fracture to his ribs to play a round of golf in Florida with newly elected U.S. president Donald J. Trump.
Trump was enjoying his golf outing so much on Sunday that he ended up playing a full 18-hole-round rather than just a few holes as he initially intended. McIlroy, slated to play the WGC-Mexico Championship next weekend, sped up his recovery schedule to have the honor of playing with America’s 45th president.
McIlroy was impressed with the president’s game saying Trump “shot about 80,” and was a “decent player for a guy in his 70’s!”
However, many weren’t so impressed with Rory for his decision to tee-it-up with the President:
Pitiful. @McIlroyRory can spend his free time how he wants. And you and I can ask, why is he normalising this lying, racist scumbag? https://t.co/DKDb4Fa60N

Hint to @McIlroyRory – next time @POTUS asks you to play golf tell him you're a refugee from a country renowned for terrorism.
