Donald Trump made sure Rory McIlroy had all 14 clubs in the bag for his final round at the Cadillac Championship in Doral, Florida. Adding yet another day of publicity to McIlroy’s mini-meltdown, The Donald had a scuba diver retrieve the 3-iron that McIlroy heaved into the water at the par-5 eighth hole during the second round at Trump National Doral. McIlroy played with only 13 clubs in the third round, saying he really didn’t need a 3-iron. Trump said “Thirteen is an unlucky number. I want him to have 14 clubs in his bag.” Maybe that was a mistake. He would have had 14 clubs, anyway, as a replacement club was shipped to the world’s No. 1 player earlier Sunday.
