Rory McIlroy is playing in this week’s Irish Open. The world No. 6 arrived in County Cork without incident on Monday, but the same can’t be said for his clubs – they never made it across the Atlantic. You can probably relate.
He expressed his displeasure with United Airlines on Twitter on Tuesday morning:
Hey @united landed in Dublin yesterday morning from Newark and still no golf clubs... Sort of need them this week... Can someone help!?

Not surprisingly, the issue was resolved shortly, and, according to United, McIlroy will be reunited with his sticks before the start of the Irish Open:
@McIlroyRory We have good news. Your clubs will be in tomorrow and we'll deliver them to the tournament for you. ^JH

Hey, if nothing else, this very public call-out should be worth a few MileagePlus Awards points, right?
Update: McIlroy has been reunited with is clubs. He tweeted the following Wednesday morning.
