Rory McIlroy has defended his decision to not speak to media during the PGA Championship after being left "p***** off" by information about a non-conforming driver being "leaked" at Quail Hollow.
McIlroy arrived as pre-tournament favourite to claim back-to-back major titles, having completed the career Grand Slam with victory at The Masters the previous month, only to finish tied-47th as Scottie Scheffler claimed the Wanamaker Trophy.
Reports emerged after McIlroy's second round that his driver had been deemed non-conforming when tested by the USGA ahead of the event, with the Northern Irishman declining post-round interviews throughout the tournament.
