Greetings from the Dead-Zone. The Ryder Cup and football. Without further ado… Is it time for a Rory/Harry split? Doesn’t seem like Harry is able to get him across the line. @dan.sherwood on Instagram This line of questioning always seems to percolate after a disappointing weekend for Rory McIlroy.
