Trump is not exactly known for being above petty retaliations.

RORY MCILROY is hunting for answers after a horrendous showing at the RBC Canadian Open.

The Grand Slam champion carded a second round crashed out of the RBC Canadian Open after carding a disastrous 78 – his worst finish on the PGA Tour.

His nine-over-par total saw him finish tied 149th, missing his first cut of the season and his first since The Open at Royal Troon last July.

The 36-year-old found just 13 of 28 fairways in Toronto, and racked up a horror eight on the par-four fifth after spraying his tee shot.

The Northern Irishman has been battling to get to grips with a new 44-inch driver since his old one was deemed non-conforming on the eve of last month’s PGA Championship – where he limped home in 47th.

Speaking after missing the cut at TPC Toronto, McIlroy admitted he’s concerned ahead of next week’s US Open at Oakmont.

He said: “There’s still learnings that you have to take from a day like today.

“Even though the last two days didn’t go the way I wanted them to, there’s still things that I can take from it.

“I’m going to have to do a lot of practise and a lot of work over the weekend at home, and try to at least have a better idea of where my game is going into next week.”

“Yeah, still searching for the missing piece off the tee.

“And, when I get that part of the game clicking, then everything falls into place for me, but right now that isn’t and that’s a concern going into next week.

“I went back to a 44-inch driver this week to try to get something that was a little more in control, and could try to get something a bit more in-play.

“But if I’m going to miss fairways, I’d rather have the ball speed and miss the fairway than not.

“So I was saying to Harry [Diamond, McIlroy’s caddy], going down the last, this is obviously the second time this year I’ve tried the new version and it hasn’t quite worked out for me.

“So, I’d say I’ll be testing quite a few drivers over the weekend.”

The 125th U.S. Open Championship is set to take place from June 12–15, 2025, at the historic Oakmont Country Club in Oakmont, Pennsylvania.

This marks a record 10th time that Oakmont will host the U.S. Open, and it’s one of the most challenging courses in golf. 

DARTS legend Phil Taylor has slammed the format of the Premier League.

The eight-player format involving a quarter, semi and final every Thursday has been in place since 2022.

But Taylor is not a fan of the setup, saying: “It’s very tiring… I think they do need to look at it now.

“It needs revamping, that’s what I think. A lot of the players are not enjoying it and you can tell.”

Fans also criticised the repetitive format after last week’s final and so did legend Steve Beaton, labelling it “boring”.

He argued that seeing top players face each other regularly dampens the blockbuster feel to the match-ups.

But Taylor has been entertained by the standard of play on show throughout this year’s Premier League.

He added: “Luke and Luke are really setting the standards at the moment.

“The levels they’re producing and how they’re bringing the best out of each other — it’s incredible for the rest of the sport.

“And not just Luke and Luke — I love watching Chris Dobey.

“Nathan Aspinall is playing superb. Absolutely superb. He’s won two or three of these Premier Leagues. He’s done brilliant.”

AIDAN O’BRIEN’S No2 Lambourn stunned his big hope Delacroix to land the Derby.

The 13-2 chance hit the front and was never for catching under loyal jockey Wayne Lordan.

Ryan Moore never really got into it on red-hot favourite Delacroix.

And, for once, the world’s best jockey had to play second best to Lordan – who he beat into second in the Oaks.

There was a huge result for syndicate Middleham Park as their 50-1 Lazy Griff came second.

While Aidan’s son Joseph was third with 28-1 Tennessee Stud.

Juddmonte had the fourth home with 50-1 New Ground.

While some critics claim that all war movies are anti-war, that cannot be said about Clint Eastwood’s movies about the American military. Being a war veteran himself, many of his films set during multiple operations conducted by the American military are supportive of the armed forces and, in some way, justify the soldiers’ actions. However, […]
