Rory McIlroy pulls out of Turkish Airlines
Open without giving a reason
Rory McIlroy has withdrawn from next week's Turkish Airlines Open, the first of the European Tour's three Final Series events.
No reason was given by the four-time major winner's manager when he informed Tour officials of the decision today but it is a reasonable assumption that the recent rocket attack in the Turkish holiday region of Antalya was a contributory factor.McIlroy is currently contesting the WGC-HSBC Champions in China and had spoken of his desire to win at least one of his last three events this season - in Shanghai, Turkey and Dubai - to try to win the Race to Dubai for a third year in succession.

Turkish media reported that two rockets were fired from a mountainous area close to the highway linking the city of Antalya to the resort town of Kemer.
