Rory: Ryder win would be ‘icing on cake’

Rory McIlroy says winning the Ryder Cup would be "the icing on the cake" of an incredible year for him.

McIlroy heads to Gleneagles with his European team-mates this week sitting at number one in the world rankings and having won four tournaments in the last five months, including the Open and the US PGA Championship.

It has been a stunning return to form for McIlroy, who had slipped to as low as 11th in the rankings following a disappointing 2013, and now the Northern Irishman is looking to add another Ryder Cup success to his list of triumphs.
