Like the song goes, “Love hurts.”

PGA golfer Rory McIlroy abruptly ended his engagement to tennis beauty Caroline Wozniacki “by telephone,” the Times of London reports, “less than a day after telling her how much he loved her.

The paper added that the 23-year-old Wozniacki thought the May 22 call, which lasted just three minutes, “was a joke.”

McIlroy delved into detail in a statement about the cold feet he experienced following the New Year's Day engagement.
