Rory McIlroy insists it was an \u201ceasy decision\u201d to potentially forfeit \u00a32.4million in bonus money as he spoke for the first time about how missing the cut in the Masters \u201csucked\u201d.<\/p>\n
McIlroy did not speak to waiting reporters after a second round of 74 at Augusta National brought a premature end to his latest bid to win a green jacket and complete the career grand slam.<\/p>\n
