Rory McIlroy shared some disappointing news this morning that he suffered an injury while playing soccer. The injury will likely cause McIlroy to miss The Open Championship. Monday, during Outnumbered on Fox News, while discussing McIlroy’s injury, one reporter referred to Rory as a “leprechaun” and said “she can’t stand him.”

Ummmm, ok then, tell us how you really feel.

McIlroy’s odds of winning The Open went from 5-1 at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, to 8-1. The obvious favorite? Jordan Spieth.

UPDATE: Fox Business Network’s Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery issued the following statement today.

"“Yesterday at this time I used the word leprechaun to describe golfer Rory McIlroy. I love sports, I love golf, but I am not a fan of Rory’s. Mostly for the way he treated tennis great Caroline Wozniacki and discarded her like a piece of chewed gum when he broke her heart and broke off their engagement in a short phone conversation. That’s worse than breaking up on a Post-it. Now to be clear, neither Harris nor Jenna Lee used the term and I don’t want them to get the credit for it. I called Rory McIlroy a leprechaun and believe me I wanted to call him much worse. As you know, some of my best friends are leprechauns and they also have tremendous sense of humor. Thank you.”"
