“I don’t consider myself a particularly patriotic person – McIlroy revealed – I don’t even know the words to the hymn. I’m going to Tokyo also because I didn’t go to Rio 2016 and because Olympic golf is important, it’s true that there are the best players. But I’m going to live this tournament without any feelings Certain, for me it will be a tournament like any other.”
