Rory more nervous proposing than putting to win Major

Newly engaged Rory McIlroy confessed he was more nervous proposing to Caroline Wozniacki than standing over of the putts to win either of his two Major titles.

McIlroy had been expecting to propose to the Danish tennis ace in Brisbane, where Wozniacki was due to compete in the Brisbane International. However when she withdrew with a shoulder injury McIlroy’s two-week-old proposal plan was dashed and instead he found himself heading south to the New South Wales capital and a late entry into the APIA Sydney International.

The couple found themselves on Sydney Harbour moored close to the famed Sydney Opera House and enjoying the spectacular Sydney Harbour Bridge New Year’s Eve fireworks display.
