Rory McIlroy may be a golfer, but he’s a big fan of other sports, too, including rugby and soccer, er, football. It’s not a surprise, then, that the Ulsterman would be willing to try a new variation on the sport.
McIlroy faced off against fellow Northern Irishman and “50 Shades of Grey” actor Jamie Dornan in a match of Circular Soccer, a new game where players try to score goals on a three-sided net in the middle of the playing field. The idea is to encourage players to develop more skills, including ball handling, on the pitch.
Naturally, the world No. 1 wins the match.
