Diamond missed the Canadian Open last week, which McIlroy won, to be with his wife, who was giving birth. Niall O\u2019Connor, a former Irish Rugby star and a friend of McIlroy\u2019s, subbed for Diamond. O\u2019Connor had previously caddied for McIlroy at the 2019 DP World Championship in Dubai.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNiall and [my] run has come to an end at this point,\u2019\u2019 McIlroy said. \u201cPretty good record. Had a fourth in Dubai and a first in Canada. If I ever need someone to jump in for Harry, I\u2019ve got a pretty good substitute there.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>McIlroy, in the midst of being asked a number of question about LIV Golf, was asked on Zoom from a youngster for Sports Illustrated about the significance of the famous 1913 U.S. Open win at Brookline by former caddie Francis Ouimet, given McIlroy\u2019s relationship with his caddie.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFunny that the best question comes from a kid,\u2019\u2019 McIlroy joked. \u201cThis course and the history of Francis Ouimet, 1913, that\u2019s what\u2019s so good about golf is the history and the tradition and these stories. The fact that he grew up just off the 17th hole here and we\u2019re still talking about it to this day over 100 years on, that\u2019s so cool. That\u2019s the great thing about this sport.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n<aside class=\"single__inline-module alignleft\">\n\t<\/aside>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2022\/06\/14\/justin-thomas-division-among-stars-amid-liv-golf-debut-is-sad\/\">Justin Thomas<\/a>, who grew up in Kentucky, is a Red Sox fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy uncle is from up this area, and he\u2019s a big Red Sox fan, and it just was kind of something that it was no birthday or Christmas gift that was for me from him was anything but Red Sox,\u2019\u2019 Thomas said \u201cI had a lot of jerseys, T-shirts, a lot of hats, a lot of blankets.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>His favorite players?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThen my first Red Sox jersey was a David Ortiz jersey,\u2019\u2019 he said. \u201c[My uncle] took me to a Yankees-Red Sox game at Fenway for my birthday one year, which was really cool. I think I was probably 12. Went to a Yankees-Red Sox game at old Yankee Stadium. I remember because I had my Nomar [Garciaparra] jersey on, and I was getting yelled at and cussed at and given the finger and I was 9 years old.
