LOUISVILLE Kentucky (Reuters) - Having immersed himself in golf since the breakup three months ago of his engagement to tennis player Caroline Wozniacki, Rory McIlroy has reaped rich rewards with a sizzling run of form at the game's highest level.

Just days after saying he was not ready for marriage, the Northern Irishman clinched the European Tour's flagship event at Wentworth in May, then won last month's British Open and the PGA Tour's WGC-Bridgestone Invitational in successive starts.
