DUBAI, Nov 23, 2012 (AFP) – Top-ranked golfer Rory McIlroy found himself discussing Christmas presents instead of his game at a news conference on Thursday when his tennis star girlfriend Caroline Wozniacki demanded a special gift.
Wozniacki, 22, put her Northern Ireland boyfriend, who is currently ranked world number one, firmly on the spot as he talked reporters through his first round at the $8 million DP World Tour Championship where he was one shot off the lead.
“You obviously have unbelievable support this week. So, you know if you win, am I going to get a really nice Christmas present, and what am I going to get?,” said Wozniacki, reported the Gulf News.
“Have you not got a lot of nice presents already?” replied McIlroy. “I have been looking. But yeah, I don’t think winning this week will lead to me buying you a nice present. I think you’ll get a nice present anyway.”
The news conference had reporters in fits of laughter as the two stars stepped up their light-hearted exchange.
Wozniacki hit back: “Well, that must be because I’m an unbelievable cheerleader.”
“You’re a better tennis player,” joked McIlroy.
“That’s not nice,” replied former world female tennis number one.
McIlroy insisted: “No, it is. Anything else?”
“That’s it for today,” said Wozniacki.
