SHANE MCMAHON WITH RORY MCILROY'S DAD AT U.S. OPEN

Anyone else think it's weird that Shane McMahon, son of the WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon, is hanging around Rory McIlroy?

At the Masters, Shane was the first person to greet Rory after his collapse on the back nine. And at the U.S. Open on Sunday, Shane was spotted with Rory's dad Gerry as the U.S. Open champ finished the 72nd hole at Congressional Country Club.

Shane is on the board of directors for the management firm that represents Rory (International Sports Management), which at least explains why the two have any connection. But, it doesn't explain Shane's fascination with the young Northern Irishman.

I like Rory, I think he's a talented young golfer who has the ability to possibly eclipse Jack's record on day (or we might be saying Tiger's record soon enough). But, he better be careful who he associates with. What could a friendship with Shane McMahon possibly offer Rory besides tickets to a wrestling match?

I've never been a fan of "pro" wrestling or the McMahon family. The McMahon's just seem like a shady family, so I would wary if I were you Rory. Now that you're a major champion, you're going to have people coming out of the woodwork to try and be your friends. Don't let your guard down and get taken advantage of personally or professional. U.S. Open champs are better than that!
