Rory McIlroy hoping Olympic gold can help fill a void of 10 years without silver major trophies

SAINT-QUENTIN-EN-YVELINES, France (AP) — Rory McIlroy began preparing for the Olympics by playing a course he knows well, with photographers camped out behind him on the tee and spectators crammed behind the railing on the 18th green. Only he wasn't at Le Golf National, where he was part of Europe's winning Ryder Cup team in 2018. “None of your business why I was there,” McIlroy said Tuesday, not making it entirely clear whether he was serious or being cheeky.
