\u201cRory is going in after three holes,\u201d Porath said on X.<\/p>\n
\u201cLimped a bit to the 3rd tee, was sitting in middle of 3rd fairway taking his shoe off, and looks to be calling it a day on the 4th tee box.\u201c<\/p>\n
What Rory McIlroy said about his toe issue last week<\/p>\n
McIlroy spoke to reporters after his final round at the Truist Championship.<\/p>\n

And he responded when asked why he was limping.<\/p>\n
\u201cYeah, I\u2019ve got a blister on my pinky toe on my right foot,\u201c the six-time major champion said.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut it\u2019s underneath my nail. So I can\u2019t really get to it or so it\u2019s a little sore, but I\u2019ll be all right. Started to feel it like Friday afternoon.\u201c<\/p>\n
McIlroy then responded when asked if the blister affected his performance this week.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, not at all. No, that was \u2014 I wish that was an excuse, but absolutely not (laughing),\u201c he said.<\/p>\n
He was then asked whether he is concerned about the blister on his toe.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo, it\u2019s fine. I\u2019ll be okay,\u201c he replied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rory McIlroy heads into the PGA Championship at Aronimink this week looking to win his second major championship…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":640533,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[71],"tags":[427,7698,14192,6082,99],"class_list":["post-640532","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-golf","tag-golf","tag-major-championship","tag-pga-championship","tag-rory-mcilroy","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640532","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=640532"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/640532\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/640533"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=640532"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=640532"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=640532"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
