‘He kept yelling my wife’s name’: Rory McIlroy suggests limiting alcohol on course

US golf fans, a group known for expressing their feelings, are beginning to grate on Rory McIlroy. The world No13 was subjected to heckles during Saturday’s third round at the Arnold Palmer Invitational and wondered whether limiting alcohol sales could remedy the matter.

“There was one guy out there who kept yelling my wife’s name,” said McIlroy, who was two shots off the leader Henrik Stenson going into Sunday’s final round. “I was going to go over and have a chat with him. I don’t know, I think it’s gotten a little much, to be honest. I think that they need to limit alcohol sales on the course, or they need to do something because every week, it seems like guys are complaining about it more and more.”

‘Astonishing’ increase in drink-driving recorded in Kerry

‘Astonishing’ increase in drink-driving recorded in Kerry

Total of 300 arrested in county in 2017 and councillors place some of blame on taxi drivers

The increase in the number of drink-driving offences detected in Kerry over the last three years has “astonished” the Garda Síochána, senior officers have told local politicians.

Official statistics show that 300 people were arrested in the county for drink-driving last year, up by a quarter on 2016 – and the number is expected to rise significantly further this year.

Superintendent Dan Keane said more offenders were being found in all age-groups up to 60 years: “Kerry appears to be rising, year on year,” he told Kerry County Council’s Joint Policing Committee.
