Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy has admitted that he "overslept" before the final round of his US PGA Championship victory at the weekend.
McIlroy shot a final-round 66 to finish on 13-under, a full eight shots clear of the rest, and the 23-year-old has revealed that he had to be woken by his father in order to make the tee.
"Something that people don't know is that I went back home," Eurosport quotes McIlroy as saying.
"Everyone was talking about how I showed back up about half an hour before my tee time on the last day. I actually took a nap and my dad had to come wake me up because I overslept."
The weekend's victory was McIlroy's second major after winning the US Open last year.
