This does not look good.
We're no doctors, but we'd be fairly sure that a ruptured ankle ligament would make playing in a major golf tournament almost impossible.
Sure, Tiger Woods played the 2008 US Open with a broken leg, but this injury to Rory McIlroy looks pretty serious just two weeks out for the British Open.
The Down native has taken to Instagram this morning to share a picture that will probably please a lot of his rivals, and devastate golf fans with a fairly serious injury update.

We hope the man that kicked him at five-a-side or whatever it was feels really really pleased with himself right now.
