Fair and balanced, right? Fox News is at it again, but this time they've decided to offer their slant on happenings in the golf world.

During the Monday edition of "Outnumbered," the update anchor was sharing details of Rory McIlroy's ankle injury he suffered on July 4 while playing soccer with friends. The injury may prevent McIlroy from defending his British Open crown, making him the first player since Ben Hogan in 1954 to miss that title defense.

Once the update was done, an off-camera anchor weighed in on McIlroy, saying, "He's a leprechaun. I can't stand him."

Anchor Harris Faulkner moved on very quickly from that comment, but Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery, who made the remark, owned it on Tuesday's edition of the show.

Former MTV host and current Fox Business host, Lisa "Kennedy" Montgomery, took ownership of the comments on Tuesday, albeit in a somewhat juvenile way.

“Yesterday at this time I used the word leprechaun to describe golfer Rory McIlroy," she said on the program.

"I love sports, I love golf, but I am not a fan of Rory’s. 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. Now to be clear, neither Harris nor Jenna Lee used the term and I don’t want them to get the credit for it. I called Rory McIlroy a leprechaun and believe me I wanted to call him much worse. As you know, some of my best friends are leprechauns and they also have tremendous sense of humor. Thank you.”
