Guidonia Montecelio, Italy | Rory McIlroy was still running hot after his car park outburst at the Ryder Cup on Saturday night as he made his way to Marco Simone the following morning to help Europe regain the golden trophy.
He had already addressed the issue with European captain Luke Donald. He had already spoken to his wife, too. But McIlroy also decided to take inspiration from the writings of a Roman emperor, Marcus Aurelius – the mentor of Russell Crowe’s Maximus in the blockbuster Gladiator – to get in the right frame of mind.
