Rory Mcllroy

Golf superstar Rory McIlroy says a heart defect will not prevent him from challenging again to be World No. 1 and add to his tally of four majors. The Northern Irishman, who begins his year in Abu Dhabi next week ranked 11 in the world, told The Daily Telegraph he doesn’t lose too much sleep over it. “I have a flat T-wave and I’ll have to get an echo (cardiogram) on my heart every six months and an MRI scan every year,” he said. “For now, I just need to stay on top of it and have to stay fit. Hey, I was planning on doing that anyway.”
