Rory not throwing in the towel Empty

Rory McIlroy teed off in the USPGA Championship on Friday despite his right arm still being bandaged up.
The 22-year-old injured himself hitting a tree root on the third hole on Thursday, but soldiered on, eventually finishing with a remarkable level-par 70.
He went for a scan immediately after his round, which revealed a tendon strain, but thankfully no serious damage.
With no one quite sure if he would continue to play Ping K15 Iron Set 4H, 5H, 6-PW, SW with Graphite Shafts, McIlroy arrived on the practice range on Friday morning only 30 minutes before his tee-off time instead of the usual hour, and spent only 15 minutes hitting balls before moving on to the putting green.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, his second round did not begin very well. Despite a perfect drive down the 10th fairway, his pitch shot spun back to the front fringe and he three-putted from there for a bogey to lie eight shots off Steve Stricker's lead.
McIlroy had taken anti-inflammatory pills and sent his scan back to England for a second opinion.
Cornell Driessen, the Physio who treated McIlroy on the course immediately after the incident, said that, crucially, the tendon was intact and there was not even a partial tear.
And McIlroy's manager, Andrew "Chubby" Chandler, said: "I was in a meeting when it happened. I got a text telling me that there would be a new Ping K15 Iron Set 4H, 5H, 6-PW, SW with Graphite Shaftsready for him this morning, so I knew he had broken a club.
"Then I got a lot of texts asking if he was all right, so I knew he had a problem.
"The medical centre we went to were unbelievable. It was shut, but they got a hand specialist and two orthopaedic surgeons there to have a look.
"Rory wants to play Ping K15 Iron Set 4H, 5H, 6-PW, SW with Graphite Shaftsand the guys said that if the worst comes to the worst he might be out a week longer."
Asked what he thought about McIlroy deciding to play the risky shot that led to the injury, he added: "Guys play to the limit. If he thinks he can do it he's going to have a go.
"He said the root was a foot in front of the ball. It looked two or three inches to me!
"He's fine. Everybody has a different pain threshold, but I know he winced a lot when he was working on it this morning.
"I can't believe he shot 70 with all that gunge on."
Should caddie JP Fitzgerald have intervened?
"He doesn't listen to the caddie anyway!" said Chandler.
Coming off his opening bogey, McIlroy parred the 11th, then managed to get his round back to level par at the par-five 12th, before parring the 13th as well.
