Star golfer Rory McIlroy revealed that he is very happy in love with his new girlfriend Erica Stoll.

It was supposed to be a new fling but World No 1 golfer came out hand-in-hand with Stoll at the Irish Open.

The star golfer has been dating Stoll from six months now, seems to be very happy with this manager of Championship Volunteer Operations at the PGA of America.

The 26-year-old golf ace asserted that he has known the Florida beauty for three years and they were good friends and if everything off the golf course was good, then it allowed one to be better on it as well.

“The fact that she has a big interest in golf is an important factor – and it’s not just a case that she has sparked an interest in the game since meeting Rory. In fact she is every bit as obsessed with golf as him,” says a source on the relationship.

The Northern Irish golfer continued that they haven't really been putting it out there but the past six or seven months have been really nice and that part of his life was going great.

The couple reportedly first met in September 2012, when she saved him from being disqualified at the Ryder Cup when he confused his tee time.
