How do you celebrate the first major event in your home country in six years? Maybe have a celebration with close friends and family. Or pay homage to your country in some patriotic fashion. Or if you are more daring, you can go the Rory McIlroy way. The Northern Irish golfer, in preparation for the upcoming Open Championship, got a haircut.

McIlroy getting a haircut is not something new, but the way he went about it did raise some serious questions in social media. The haircut looked out of place, a far cry from the young and energetic golfer he seemingly portrayed.
Fans react to Rory McIlroy’s look
“Did he do it himself,” asked one curious fan, hinting at the fact that the cut looked amateurish.
“Aged 15 years,” commented another fan who was clearly surprised by the reveal at the Renaissance Club.
What do you think of the Northern Irish golfer’s haircut for the European leg of the PGA Tour?
