Mcllroy taking on advice from Federer as he looks to break the monotony

RORY Mcllroy has reiterated his plan to continue to broaden his golfing horizons rather than get bogged down in the monotony of the tour having taken on board advice from tennis great Roger Federer.

As the newest member of the sport's career Grand Slam club after his victory in the Masters the Northern Irishman has given himself extra security, if it were even needed, to make decisions on his own terms.

Before the end of the year the 36-year-old will play in India for the first time before returning to Australia as he has more option than most to pick and choose tournaments.

The world number two was criti-cised last month for skipping the first FedEx Cup event on the PGA Tour as it did not affect his position in the rankings and offered a chance to have a break before a busy September which began with him winning last week's Irish Open, has now taken him to Wentworth for the BMW PGA Championship and will end with the Ryder Cup in New York.
