Rory McIlroy cards horror quadruple bogey after fellow PGA Tour star makes a TWELVE at the RBC Canadian Open
RORY McIlLROY admitted early this week that he's been struggling to stay motivated after winning The Masters and achieving the career grand slam. And his woes continued during the second round at the RBC Canadian Open as he carded a horror quadruple bogey during the early stages. 2 Rory McIlroy's poor form continued as he carded a horror quadruple bogey during the early stages of his second round - he's almost certainly going to miss the cut in Ontario 2 Matthieu Pavon carded a horror 12 on his opening hole of his second round at TPC Toronto McIlroy struggled in his opening round after a one-over total, and his second round got off to a disastrous start when he shot 8 on the par four fifth hole. The Masters champion flared his tee shot into the left rough — but it went from bad to worse when he tugged his next shot out of bounds. His second ball flew the green and McIlroy butchered the hole around the dancefloor, racking up a card-killer of a score. At the time of writing, the projected cut is two under par- with McIlroy currently an eye-watering seven shots outside the weekend number in Ontario. READ MORE ON GOLF The last time he missed a cut came at the 2024 Open at Royal Troon last July. The Northern Irishman hasn't finished outside the top 25 in back-to-back events since he went MC-T47 at the 2023 Masters and Wells Fargo. But he's almost certain to miss the cut at TPC Toronto after a T47 in his last event played at the PGA Championship. Elsewhere, Matthieu Pavon carded a shocking 12 on the par 4 10th hole in Canada after starting on the back-nine. Most read in Golf The Frenchman followed up the horror 12 with back to back birdies at TPC Toronto. Pavon's unwanted 12 is just the second of that number on the PGA Tour this season. Amanda Balionis accused by Scottie Scheffler of 'trying to get him emotional' during live TV interview Meanwhile, Shane Lowry is in contention after another fine round with a midway total of -8. He's four-strokes behind overnight leader Cameron Champ, who fired a second-round 66 to continued his fire form with a total of -12. The American is three ahead of Thorbjorn Olesen after he finished with a second-round 70. All the action is live on SKY SPORTS GOLF.

Tiger Woods injury update: Achilles surgery forces golf star to miss 2025 Masters
Tiger Woods had recently been ramping up his training regimen in an effort to play in the 2025 Masters. However, he appears to have pushed himself a bit too far. On Tuesday, March 11, less than one month away from the start of the tournament, Woods announced that he had undergone surgery to repair a ruptured Achilles tendon in his left leg. As I began to ramp up my own training and practice at home, I felt a sharp pain in my left Achilles, which was deemed to be morning, Dr. Charlton Stucken of Hospital for Special Surgery in West Palm Beach, Florida performed a minimally-invasive Achilles tendon… — Tiger Woods (@TigerWoods) March 11, 2025 Although Woods has not played in a PGA Tour event since the 2024 Open last summer, there was still hope that he'd be able to make it to the Masters, a tournament he has only missed once since 2018 (2021). Woods had previously expressed intent to play in the 2025 Genesis Invitational at Torrey Pines, but was forced to withdraw just days before the competition after his mother passed away. Golf News: Scottie Scheffler dishes on the challenge of being the No. 1 player in the world Woods ruptured his Achilles while training. Woods has undergone numerous surgeries over the past several years, and even had one as recently as September 2024, when he underwent back surgery. It's unclear at this time, but a similar Achilles injury happened to fellow golfer Bernhard Langer in February last year. He returned just three months later and even won a tournament, the Charles Schwab Cup Championship, that November. While Langer (67) is much older than Woods (49), Woods' injury history and the injury itself are much more serious, which makes a three-month timetable rather aggressive, according to Golfweek's Cameron Jourdan. Jourdan explains that while Langer tore his Achilles, Woods ruptured it, meaning the tendon is fully severed.
