Inside Rory McIlroy’s Wervelwind Love Life
Rory Mcilroy enjoyed a high -profile romance with former tennis world number one Caroline Wozniacki before their split in 2014.
The following year the Golf Ace began to date Erica Stoll, which he had met for the first time on the PGA Tour in 2011.
Erica often had contact with players through her role as PGA’s manager of the volunteering championship.
She even prevented McIlroy missing his Tee time at the Ryder Cup 2012 after some confusion in the time zone.
The incident started a strong friendship between the couple, four years before their relationship became romantic.
McIlroy and Erica were seen on a series of dates in Rochester, New York, in the early days of their relationship.
Only eight months later the couple was engaged in Paris and walked through the aisle in Ashford Castle in Ireland in 2017.
The couple then welcomed daughter Poppy in the world three years later.
During their time together, McIlroy and Erica held their relationship with themselves, where the golfer wants to protect his family against the cameras while filming Netflix’s Full Swing Documentaries Series.
After seven years of marriage, however, McIlroy applied for a separation from Erica.
The reasons for the divorce were not announced, but the Noord -Ier submitted documents to a court in Florida.
A few weeks later, however, a U-turn carried out about their decision to separate.
McIlroy said to the outlet: “Fortunately we have solved our differences and look forward to a new beginning.”
And Each other- admitted that his lack of motivation is so bad that he would not have worried if he had missed the cut.
He said, “I thought,” Do I really want two days here? ” So it makes it easier to play better in that mentality.
Rory Mcilroy responds to PGA Championship -Delay
“You don’t know how you are going to respond to something like my Masters – winning – something I had dreamed about for a long time. And yes, I felt a bit flat on the golf Course afterwards.
“I actually feel that I played well this week. It is a golf course where the smallest mistakes are punished.”
Given his way of thinking, it is no surprise, McIlroy’s weak our open hope had disappeared with a whimmer instead of a roar.
A four-over-par 74 kept the Northern Irish under the rear markings, and in this mood he will do well to improve his 47th place in the USPGA a few weeks ago.
Sometimes it seemed that McIlroy is going through the movements since Augusta, especially when he finished 149th of 153 Finishers in the Canadian Open last week.
Unfortunately, Oakmont has proven another example of McIlroy who plays without his usual drive and desire.
It was difficult to avoid the suspicion that he was on his way yesterday, knowing that it was unlikely that he would make significant insigns on the nine shot gorge that separated him from 36-hole leader Sam Brandt – Especially on a front nine that has proven a minefield for the world No. 2.
McIlroy played the opening rack in Nine over par During the first two days, while they shoot three under the rear nine. The front nine is the more difficult half – but not that much more difficult.
I feel that I have deserved the right to do what I want to do. “
Rory Mcilory on his short media -Black -Out
Marc Leishman and Corey Conners, in the groups just behind McIlroy, underlined that fact by both playing the first nine holes in three of yesterday, although both found it much more difficult after turning.
McIlroy needed a fast start of three to have a three chance of a miracle confirmation, but a bogey on the third meant that he was going in the wrong direction quickly.
Another shot went on the ninth and although he finally made his first Birdie on the tenth, he immediately gave it back by finding a bunker on the 11th.
A sad shoulder picks from the shoulders was the only reaction when he missed a Tiddler on the 14th.
And another shot went with a three-putt on the 16th.
The relatively simple 17th, where he demolished the Tee Marker 24 hours earlier, yielded a second Birdie.
It was almost inevitable that shot was returned to the last, so that the five -time big winner dropped to ten.
Asked where he was hoping in his final round, McIlroy added: “Hopefully a round in less than four and a half hours and gone here.”
