Rory McIlroy didn't play the final round of the Irish Open, but he did make some news.
McIlroy, who missed the cut, rolled up to Royal County Down on Sunday with his girlfriend Erica Stoll. McIlroy and Stoll had been rumored to have been dating for a while, and on Sunday it was finally confirmed.
“I have met someone new,” McIlroy told the Times Magazine. “She doesn’t play golf, but she is involved with golf. I have known her for three years and we are good friends … If everything off the golf course is good, it allows you to be better on it as well.
“We haven’t really been putting it out there. She is from America, which is why I like to spend time in Palm Beach (in Florida). The past six or seven months have been really nice. That part of my life is going great.”
Stoll works for the PGA and was the one who woke McIlroy up at the 2012 Ryder Cup after he overslept his tee time.
