Rory McIlroy's 'Little Interview' posed some challenging questions, such as being asked to name his favourite female tennis player!

Rory McIlroy has overcome plenty of tough challenges in his career, but have there been any more difficult than being Billy's guest on the European Tour's "Little Interviews"?

McIlroy stars in a no-holds-barred interview with the youngster ahead of the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai, although he may have regretted agreeing to there being no restrictions on the line of questioning.

The world No 2 is grilled on several sensitive issues, including his decision to withdraw from the Olympic Games in Rio as well as the "real reason" why he almost missed his tee time for his crucial singles match against Keegan Bradley in the memorable Ryder Cup of 2012.
