World No. 1 Rory McIlroy has kept himself busy since missing the cut as host of the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.

McIlroy, as expected, returned to the Royal County Down course on Sunday to present the trophy to new Irish Open winner Soren Kjeldsen.

However he arrived at the course hand-in-hand with new girlfriend Erica Stoll.

Then yesterday the four-time Major winner was spotted training around the shoreline keeping in shape before his next event – the U.S. Open.
