GULLANE, Scotland (Reuters) - Justin Rose has told injured Rory McIlroy not to change his off-course lifestyle despite the world number one suffering an ankle injury playing football that could rule him out of next week's British Open.
McIlroy has withdrawn from this week's Scottish Open at Gullane, while it remains uncertain whether he will be able to defend his British Open title at St Andrews.
Rose revealed he has taken up deep sea diving near his Bahamas residence and advised McIlroy not to change his own off-course activities once he has recovered after rupturing ligaments last weekend playing a social game of football.
