"IT WAS A VERY PUBLIC RELATIONSHIP" says McILROY

 NO REGRETS FROM RORY ABOUT 

ANNOUNCING SPLIT WITH CAROLINE

FROM THE BELFAST TELEGRAPH WEBSITE

Rory McIlroy still believes he did the right thing by announcing the end of his relationship with Caroline Wozniacki before last week's BMW PGA tournament at Wentworth, which he subsequently won. 
Speaking on the eve of the Memorial Tournament in Ohio, the Ulsterman was initially reticent to speak about the sudden ending of his engagement – reportedly via a curt three-minute phone call – to the Danish tennis star.
When asked about the call, the 25-year-old snapped: "I'm only here to talk about my golf."
But when pressed about the timing of his announcement, the Holywood, Belfast man said: "It's one of those things... it was a very public relationship and I thought it was best that, instead of letting it linger and have rumours and everything, have it out there as soon as possible.
Wozniacki admitted after her first-round defeat at the French Open that she was shocked by her ex's behaviour, coming as it did just days after the couple's wedding invitations had been sent out.
When asked about how he'd cope in a new relationship, McIlroy sighed: "Look, it's only been a week; give me a chance."
