OH WHAT WOULD life be without constant fretting about British Open winner Rory McIlroy’s love life?

After he called off his wedding to tennis player Caroline Wozniacki in May speculation has been rife about which way his heart is ‘swinging’, and what lucky lady might be ‘driving’ his emotions.

(Please excuse the golf puns. We’re in a glass ‘bunker’ of emotion)

In recent weeks he’s been linked to Irish model, singer and friend to John Delaney  Nadia Forde, despite her repeated insistence that there is no romance between her and McIlroy.

NEVER MIND ALL  THAT NADIA! WE HAVE HEADLINES TO WRITE!

Now though, there’s a new girl in the spotlight, with both the Irish Sun and the Irish Daily Mirror splashing it on their front pages. With near-identical headlines. And not one mention of a ‘hole-in-one’. Very restrained.

So what do we know about this (alleged) future Mrs Will He Play For Ireland Or Won’t He The Louser?

• Her name is Sasha Gale
• She’s an English model
• She’s 23
• She went for lunch in Belfast yesterday with McIlroy
• She has hair and legs and teeth, all of which you will see described in minute detail over the coming days/weeks
• She used to be an air stewardess
• She’s small in stature (she calls it travel-sized) so will be able to wear high heels with her (alleged) new man. Unlike Caroline Wokniacki

So now. More as we get it. Our nerves.

People are saying Rory McIlroy won the Open because he dumped Caroline Wozniacki>
