If you watched how Rory McIlroy birdied the 18th hole on Thursday at The Players, you will likely remember his closing three for quite some time. After missing the short grass again off the tee, McIlroy’s ball settled down in the pine straw to the right of the fairway.

Villegas, J.J. Spaun and Lucas Glover all shot 6-under 66 to share the Day 1 lead at The Players Championship.

Rory McIlory doesn't seem too familiar with the likes of Fat Perez, Gabby Golf Girl and Grant Horvat. He also doesn't seem to care to watch any of their videos. Somehow this has been interpreted as a scandal among fans of the YouTubers when it should be little more than a blip on the radar this week. It also entirely misses the point.
