US Open winner Rory McIlroy is headed for a tennis vacation after finishing his PGA Championship in Georgia on Sunday with a second straight 74, sending him to 11-over par and tied for 64th.
He said his injured right wrist felt better and he was simply glad for a few days off, but he's not heading home to Northern Ireland, he's off to Cincinnati, Ohio. "I hear it's nice up there this time of year," he said with a grin.
Cincinnati is also site of a WTA tournament featuring McIlroy's friend, world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki. The two have been the subject of gossip since they were photographed together a month ago. And although Dane Wozniacki has mentioned McIlroy frequently on twitter, neither has formally confirmed any romantic relationship.
McIlroy, though, quickly turned the conversation back to his PGA performance.
It was certainly a struggle, he said, since injuring his right wrist on an ill-considered shot, the ball up against a tree root. "I basically played 70 holes of this tournament not at 100 percent."
McIlroy, 22, was proud of his drama-filled major season - the Masters final-round collapse followed by the US Open win. He was 25th at the British Open.
