Crowd sing ‘Happy Birthday’ to Rory McIlroy after he wins WGC Matchplay Championship

Not a bad present

Not quite the usual 20 quid in a card.

Rory McIlroy turns 26 today, and he’ll find a cheque for $1.57m gift wrapped for him after winning the WGC Cadillac Championship in San Francisco.

Not a bad windfall, but because there are some things that money can’t buy, Rory was also serenaded by the gallery after receiving his trophy.

Most people run for cover when they realise they’re about to be sung happy birthday at work, but McIlroy seemed to enjoy it.

They didn’t do a whip round for a cake though? Stingy folk in San Fran it seems.
