Video: US TV presenter used a fairly racist description while discussing Rory McIlroy

A bit of respect please.

A bit of respect please.

It has been a tough day for Rory McIlroy after the world number one announced that his chances of playing in The Open are in serious doubt after an ankle ligament injury.

Every golf fan is hoping that the defending champion will be able to take part at St. Andrews because when McIlroy is in the zone there really is no one else like him.

Jordan Spieth might have something to say about that though.

The man from County Down has conquered the world since turning pro, he already has won four-majors and is one title short of the career slam – so he deserves better than this derogatory remark that was broadcast about him on Fox News.

Stay classy as always Fox.
