For years, Sir Alex Ferguson was known as a fantastic man manager, with an uncanny ability to get the most out his players to win a huge amount of trophies.
Now that he's retired, he's making the most of it and is in Augusta to watch his first Masters.
He might be bored by the monotony of retirement, because it looks like he's trying to hire himself as McIlroy's mental coach:
1/2 Interesting meeting between @McIlroyRory and Alex Ferguson as Rory headed to the tee. "How are you Sir Alex?" Rory smiled.
Ferguson...— Paul Kimmage (@PaulKimmage) April 10, 2016
2/2 ..shook his hand and fixed him with a stare.
"Con-cen-trate."
"Con-cen-trate."
"It's a cocoon."
Rory nodded.— Paul Kimmage (@PaulKimmage) April 10, 2016
Sounds terrifying.
But it still can't be as bad as this exchange between Ferguson and TalkSport's golf expert Georgie Bingham:
Met Sir Alex Ferguson in Augusta.
Me "have you never been to the Masters before?"
Him "no"
