Rory McIlroy describes the dangers of social media to high-profile athletes

A heckler who taunted Ian Poulter during last week's Valspar Championship has been sacked, highlighting the precarious nature of social media.

JJ Downum jeered Poulter during the third round at the Innisbrook Resort in Florida as the Englishman made his way to the tee at the par-three 13th.

Downum boasted of shouting "you will not make the Ryder Cup team", followed by "you will hit in into the water", and Poulter asked tournament security to remove the heckler and his companion.
