Rory McILroy was at the end of the criticisms for his actions after what was another first disappointing first round at the Masters.
The Northern Irishman has never won the green jacket and must do so to finish a big slam in a career.
McILroy transformed a promising start into another pedestrian opening tower in Augusta while two holes turned out to be his loss.
McILroy was four under the peer and three shots behind the leader Justin Rose when he made a double bogey in the middle of the fairway on the 15th hole by five before adding another double holes later.
He finished the round on a 72 peer-spolate which left him seven shots on the head.
And he was not in a mood to speak after what happened on the first day, choosing to snub all the interviews.

Media members gathered to hear his thoughts, but McILroy has chosen to go directly to the range of practice.
And this decision has not been particularly well lowered with golf fans on social networks.
“Face out of the tour not really acting like the face of the tour right now,” said one while another called it “sweet”.
“Pathetic and childish because of two bad holes”, another posted on X while one said “it confirms why I never took care of this type”.
“So wait,” wrote another. “He wants to do a lot of interview during good, but none during the wrong?” I like Rory but he cannot have them in both directions.
McILroy was among the favorites entering the tournament with 15/2 chances to finally win it.
McILroy was on the right track when he reached four under equality with a two -stroke Birdie on the 13th, but missed in the short term on the next, then ran a double bogey on the 15th after spreading green in the water at the front.
This was precisely what the winner six times Jack Nicklaus warned that McILroy won more major titles when he had revealed earlier that he had approved the Northern Irish plan to fight against Augusta National during the lunch last week.
We crossed him for a shot, he finished with the Tour, I did not open his mouth and said: “I would not change anything,” said Nicklaus at a press conference after the ceremony of honorary beginners.
“The discipline to do so is what Rory has failed in my opinion. He has all the shots, he has the whole game.
“He is certainly as talented as anyone in the game, but if you come back by his story in recent years, he arrives at a place and suddenly a seven or an eight appears and that prevents him from going where he must go.”
McILroy also doubled the 17th after hitting his approach on the green and three strokes of 20 feet, but at least saved the 18th after a capricious journey.
