Rory McIlroy has refused to comment on being heckled by a top US college golfer during a practice round at the Players Championship. The world number two declined to discuss the matter with reporters after his opening round.

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. — Rory McIlroy was interested only in his good start to The Players Championship on Thursday than discussing a heckling incident in which he took the phone of a University of Texas player who had heckled him during a practice round.
