Rory's tweeted it a few moments ago

But he is a young man who is easily fooled...Especially on April 1st.

I'd be very shocked if it's true.

Payne ended his statement by wishing all players, patrons and media a happy April Fool's Day.

Nice to see that the duffers at these presigious clubs have a sense of humour.

The good thing with this Aprils fool joke is that you can believe they would actually do this at Augusta.
