Together during the US PGA at Hazeltine in 2009Rory McIlroy has revealed his greatest triumph this season - and it’s not winning the US Open by eight shots.

The game’s biggest draw admits that he made a triple bogey when he broke off his long term relationship with childhood sweetheart Holly Sweeney, 20, at the start of the season.

He admits now that it turned out to be a major boob but his game has been sensational since he begged her to take him back.
