Reaction as McIlroy wins BMW PGA Championship just days after breaking up with tennis star

Caroline Wozniacki needs a new voodoo doll.

Rory McIlroy has won his very first tournament since breaking up with the Danish tennis player last week, taking victory at the BMW PGA Championship from his fellow Irishman Shane Lowry. McIlroy closed with two birdies for a final round of 66, and he finished on -14 for the tournament, one shot ahead of Lowry.

Rory McIlroy is one tough cookie. To win a big competition after the bashing he has had all week is extraordinary #mentallytough — Gavin Megaw (@gavinmegaw) May 25, 2014

Awesome performance from @McIlroyRory this week.. Anyone who says your personal life doesn't effect your golf have absolutely no idea — James Robinson (@James_Robbo_PGA) May 25, 2014

 

Could it be that being swinging single & fancy free is all that Rory McIlroy needed? #BMWPGAChampionship — Peter Robinson (@PRGolfWriter) May 25, 2014

Massive birdie putt drops for @shanelowrygolf on the final hole for a 68 and -13. One shy of McIlroy but fantastic day #BMWPGA — The European Tour (@EuropeanTour) May 25, 2014
