In
my earlier post “Hoylake Predictions” here, I gazed into my crystal ball for
the results of the 2014 Open Championship and forecast in the “Likely” category
that “Rory McIlroy will open with a first round 68 and follow it with a
second-round 78.” Not even close. In the “Unlikely” category I prophesied that “Rory
McIlroy will open with a first round 68 and follow it with three more subpar
rounds, hoist the Claret Jug and bawl uncontrollably as Caroline Wozniacki
bolts from the crowd and hugs him like they were betrothed.” Well,
at least I got the first half right. But
he was hugging his Mum, not the Woz on the 18th green. Although, as fate would have it, as Rory was trouncing
the field at the Royal Liverpool Golf Club on Sunday, Rory’s former fiancée was
defeating Roberta Vinci 6-1, 6-1 to win the WTA Istanbul Cup in Istanbul,
Turkey. Coincidence? Perhaps, though I am decidedly not a big believer
in coincidences. I prefer to think that
the personal link between the two sports stars may still be converged in the firmament
somewhere. Time will tell.
