Rory rues ‘stupid shot’ in USPGA

RORY McILROY expects to be in Switzerland today after being delayed leaving New York by Hurricane Irene.

McIlroy was in America visiting new girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki before she tries to emulate him by becoming US Open champion.

The Irishman has also been having treatment on the arm he hurt hitting a tree root during the USPGA Championship.

“Looking back on it now it was a stupid shot to play,” he said.

“Now the wrist is totally fine, but when I’ve been practising I’ve experienced a little bit of soreness on the outside of the elbow.

“I haven’t hit balls since Friday, so it’ll be nice to have a good practice in Switzerland tomorrow.”

Ryder Cup qualifying starts this week and McIlroy is playing the first two counting events in Europe, moving on from the Omega European Masters to the KLM Open in the Netherlands.”

Meanhile Tiger Woods is to play the Frys.com Open in California on October 6-9.

After three months out with knee and Achilles tendon injuries Woods finished only 37th at the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational three weeks ago and then missed the cut by six shots in the USPGA.
