Rory McIlroy reveals Poppy's adorable message after magic Masters moment
Rory McIlroy has revealed that his daughter Poppy had an adorable message following her starring show at the Masters Par-3 contest. Poppy played alongside Rory, Shane Lowry and his daughter Iris, at the Par-3 contest and wowed the Augusta National faithful when she held a long-range putt on the famous course. The patrons in attendance roared with delight as Poppy was mobbed by her father, Lowry and great pal Iris. However, and quite understandably, the toddler seemed stunned by the reaction. Appearing on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon in America on Thursday evening, McIlroy spoke about Poppy's viral moment and revealed that the four-year-old had an adorable message for her father. "She got super overwhelmed. I don't think she expected the loud cheer, so she started to cry a little bit and I picked her up,' McIlroy said after a clip of Poppy's putt was shown. "When we got back to the clubhouse she wanted to see the video, so she looked at it and she studied it, and then she turned to me and said, 'It's okay daddy, I don't think they caught me crying!' That's all she was worried about but it was an amazing moment.' During the chat with Fallon, McIlroy spoke about the amount of congratulatory messages he received, and one in particular stood out. "I was overwhelmed with the number of people who reached out but the one that got me was Sir Elton John. That was incredible.' "I haven't been able to connect with him, so his assistant left me a voicemail saying Elton would like to congratulate you in person, the only problem is he doesn't have a cell phone, so you might get a call from a landline in Windsor, England! "I'd love to reach out to him. It's Elton John, it's amazing. I didn't even know Elton John knew what golf was! Super humbled. The amount of people that reached out has been really cool. "(Tiger) said welcome to the club, kid. There's six people ever who have achieved the career Grand Slam and only four of us are living – Gary Player's 90-years-old; Jack (Nicklaus) is 85, 86; and then Tiger and myself. Really cool to be a part of.' Get the latest sports headlines straight to your inbox by signing up for free email.
