The Fox News reporter who called Rory McIlroy a "leprechaun" live on TV earlier this week has said she would like to have called the World No 1 golfer "much worse".
Citing McIlroy's break-up with tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, Lisa “Kennedy” Montgomery defended her comments today, saying: "Yesterday at this time I used the word leprechaun to describe golfer Rory McIlroy. I love sports, I love golf, but I am not a fan of Rory's."
Justifying her reasons she also added: "Mostly for the way he treated tennis great Caroline Wozniacki and discarded her like a piece of chewed gum when he broke her heart and broke off their engagement in a short phone conversation.
"That’s worse than breaking up on a Post-it. I called Rory McIlroy a leprechaun and believe me I wanted to call him much worse."
