December 11, 2015: Christmas is round the corner and golf is taking a back seat for most players. But that does not mean ace golfer Rory McIlroy is putting his feet up and resting. The Northern Irishman has been one busy bee – getting laser surgery done to correct his vision even as he may have popped the question to his love interest, Erica Stoll. The PGA Tour employee was spotted recently sporting a diamond ring and speculation is rife that Rory may have proposed his lady in Paris.

“Human version of the dreaded K-9 cone…. Only for sleeping though! Laser eye surgery went well,” informed McIlroy through an Instagram post with his picture wearing oversized protective eye wear with tapes running down the from the inside corners of his eyes.

The Belfast Live is also reporting that McIlroy may have gone down on a knee to propose to his girlfriend of a year, Erica Stoll, during a recent trip to Paris. The paper attributed the news to an unnamed source but also added two and two from a picture of the Eiffel Tower posted by McIlroy to his Instagram account.

The article also quoted golfcentraldaily.com – “I’m not ordinarily into news but here’s a World Exclusive for you. It’s official. Rory McIlroy is engaged to marry his girlfriend Erica Stoll after he got down on one knee and made a romantic proposal last night.”

“Perhaps it was fitting that the venue for the proposal was Paris, after a tough couple of weeks for the city.”

“I have no further details as to the wedding date, except to say the news is 100% official from several mutual friends. I’m sure an official statement will follow which tonnes of other sites will have. But remember where you heard it first.”

McIlroy spoke about his happiness with life off the course in the aftermath of his recent victory in Dubai. And after developing cold feet at the very last minute before his wedding with Caroline Wozniacki, the golfer seems finally ready to move on to the next phase in his personal life.
