Quote by Rory McIlroy
My mom and dad worked very hard to give me the best chance in - no

My mom and dad worked very hard to give me the best chance in – not just in golf but in life. You know, I was an only child, you know, my dad worked three jobs at one stage. My mom worked night shifts in a factory. – Rory McIlroy

If Im playing in the morning, Ill get some carbs early: porridge with chopped banana. If Im playing in the afternoon, Ill start with less carbs and have some eggs and fruit for breakfast, then a light lunch about 90 minutes before I play, so I dont feel sluggish or full. – Rory McIlroy
