WORLD No. 2 Rory McIlroy is exhausted and run down and may have to pull out of next week's inaugural Thailand Golf Championship, his Horizon Sports management team said yesterday.
"Rory has a low white blood cell count and low platelets," a member of Horizon Sports said in Dubai. "He has a doctor coming to see him again on Saturday evening and they have just told him to hydrate, take iron and salt tablets and rest.
"We've told the Thailand organizers, they know he's been sick for a few weeks. He wants to play there but I think he'll make a decision tomorrow night.
"The doctors are saying it's exhaustion, him being run down. The blood count obviously affects his energy levels in a big way.
"The doctors have told Rory not to practice at all and not to go to the gym," the source said.
"He's fine but he just needs to conserve energy. It's a virus and he needs time off. They don't know where he picked it up but it's one of those that stays dormant for a couple of weeks and then just kind of flares up."
