Rory McIlroy’s British Open defence in doubt thanks to a kickabout

We're no doctors, but we'd be fairly sure that a ruptured ankle ligament would make playing in a major golf tournament almost impossible.

Sure, Tiger Woods played the 2008 US Open with a broken leg, but this injury to Rory McIlroy looks pretty serious just two weeks away from the British Open. The reigning Open champion seems has taken to Instagram this morning to share a picture that will probably please a lot of his rivals, and devastate golf fans. It looks like a new name will be on the Claret Jug this year. https://instagram.com/p/4ylZoer2LI/
