The world number two suffered back spasms going into the Tour Championship
Rory McIlroy is confident that his recent back issue will not be a problem ahead of the Irish Open at the K Club and the Ryder Cup in Rome.
, but he is hopeful that he will be 100% ready to go for the Irish Open, which takes place from September 6 to 10. McIlroy's chances of winning a fourth FedEx Cup diminished significantly after he carded a one-over-par round of 71 on Saturday to leave himself 11 shots behind leader Viktor Hovland.He told Sky Sports after his round: “I'm okay. I certainly feel better today than I felt the rest of the week.
“Still a little limited in what I can do. I sort of have to hit the driver pretty low out there and run at it, but I felt like I retained my posture a little bit better today, which was great.He added: “Yeah, still quite a lot of golf to play, so you know, get through tomorrow and hopefully finish off the tournament and the PGA Tour season with a good score.
“And then I guess next week, we'll just be focused on getting myself right, some treatment, probably a little bit of time in the gym, doing some sort of rehab exercises, and just making sure that I'm 100% ready to go for Irish Open, then Wentworth and then obviously, we've got another week and then the Ryder Cup.“I'm glad that it started to settle down.
