Holywood's Rory McIlroy played a round of golf with the President of the United States on Sunday in Palm Beach, Florida.

He said he received the call on Saturday night and told the website 'No Laying Up' “He probably shot around 80. He’s a decent player for a guy in his 70’s!”

The four-time major winner has not played competitively since suffering a stress fracture to his ribs during the South African Open where he lost in a play-off to Graeme Storm.

Rory is currently living in Florida with his American fiancée Erica Stoll and is aiming to make his comeback at next week's WGC-Mexico Championship.
