McIlroy almost fully armed

US OPEN champion Rory McIlroy says an arm injury won’t keep him out of the European Masters next week in Switzerland, while he also confirmed that he’s dating top-ranked women’s tennis player Caroline Wozniacki.

McIlroy, attending the New Haven Open tennis tournament with Wozniacki, received a massage on his injured right forearm at the Connecticut Tennis Center on Thursday after spending Wednesday hitting golf balls at the TPC River Highlands in nearby Cromwell. He said the arm feels about 85 percent healthy. He sustained what trainers described as a wrist tendon injury in the opening round of the PGA Championship earlier this month when he struck a tree root on a swing.

“It’s not actually my wrist, it’s more up into the front of my elbow,” he said. “It’s OK. It’s not 100 percent.”
