Rory McIlroy wasted no time putting marriage with Erica Stoll back on track after Open cut
Rory McIlroy put his Open Championship woes behind him by immediately flying to Portugal to spend time with wife Erica Stoll. McIlroy’s private life has been closely monitored since he announced the pair’s divorce, only to sensationally reverse the decision before the U.S. Open.
On Thursday, McIlroy struggled as he shot a dismal 78 to derail his hopes of winning a first major in a decade. He failed to improve in his second round, and shot five-over through five holes to further cement his fate en route to a 75 that left him 11-over – and outside the cut line.
Last week, McIlroy impressed at the Scottish Open as he tied for fourth following a three-week break. The Northern Irishman was optimistic about his form, but the severe weather at Royal Troon caught him and much of the field off guard.
Upon missing the cut, McIlroy immediately went to hang out with wife Stoll. The pair jetted to Portugal after Stoll was noticeably absent from the Open on Friday
The four-time major champion showed off his T-shirt tan while going for a dip in the sea, while his American wife donned a beige sun hat with a matching bag and denim shorts and had her wedding ring on display.
