Rory McIlroy a UNC fan?

Posted Aug 16, 2011
Everyone's a UNC fan. Even Rory McIlroy is. That's right, if it's too hard to make out, the 2011 U.S. Open champ is wearing the the Navy blue cap with the actual "Tar Heel" logo on it. That's the national brand for you. Golfers from Northern Ireland need some Americanized hat to wear, it may as well be a UNC one. (WRAL Sports Fan)
