Rory McIlroy Wore $250,000 Watch At The PGA Championship
Rory McIlroy hasn't been happy with the course setup at the PGA Championship in Pennsylvania this weekend.
The two-time Masters champion is currently at -4 for the tournament. He's two strokes behind the leaders. McIlroy has voiced his frustration throughout the weekend, though.
"I think a bunched leaderboard like this, I think it's a sign of a not-great setup...it hasn't really enabled anyone to separate themselves. It's easy to make a ton of pars...it feels like bogey's the worst score you're going to shoot on any one hole," he said.
But as he's expressed his frustration, he's shown off his style in a major way.
McIlroy is being praised for the watch.
