Old Course Snags Another One: Add Rory To The Converted List

Add Rory McIlroy to the long list of elite golfers who have found the Old Course at St. Andrews lacking ("hated it" in McIlroy's case), only to play it more and more and fall in love.

From Doug Ferguson's AP notes column:

"Thought it was the worst golf course I've ever played," he said. "I just stood up on every tee and was like, 'What is the fascination about this place?' But the more you play it and the more you learn about the golf course and the little nuances, you learn to appreciate it. Now it's my favorite golf course in the world."
