Rory McIlroy's new girlfriend catches more then just the love bug

World Number one golfer Rory McIlroy just celebrated two landmark victories, turning 26 and winning the WGC-Cadillac Match Championship last week however the Holywood native was unable to celebrate either of them in style.

The sports star, who has been dating PGA employee Erica Stroll for over six months, had to put his birthday celebration on hold after she caught a stomach bug.

“She was really sick and was suffering badly from food poisoning.

“Erica had to be taken from course when I was on the 10th hole during the (WGC-Cadillac Match Championship) final,” he told the Star.

“I think it was the same bug that Paul Casey had picked up so she couldn’t travel, but she’s much better now.”

The 26-year-old is thought to have missed the highly anticipated Floyd Mayweather and Manny Pacquiao fight in Las Vegas to spend time with his new lady after she fell ill.
