Rory McIlroy injures his back but finishes round at SA OpenWARREN LITTLE/GETTY IMAGES Rory McIlroy says he "tweaked" his back and would seek treatment. Rory McIlroy stayed close to the leaders at the SA Open in Ekurhuleni, South Africa, on Friday despite hurting his back. I actually thought about pulling out before even teeing off today," McIlroy said. It left him with him a long but straight putt for par and his attempt fell just short. McIlroy is playing this week as a favour to Ernie Els, the South African great and tournament host.
