"I should have stayed out there. I should have tried to shoot the best score possible even though it probably wasn't going to be good enough to make the cut."It was a mistake and everyone makes mistakes, and I'm learning from them," McIlroy said.McIlroy is paired with No. 2 Tiger Woods and No. 3 Luke Donald for the first two rounds at the TPC Blue Monster at Trump Doral.He said Wednesday his decision to withdraw Friday "will be a blessing in disguise.""It was like it just sort of released a valve and all that sort of pressure that I've been putting on myself just went away," he said. "And I was like, [let's] just go out and have fun. It's not life or death out there. It's only a game. I had sort of forgotten that this year." Yankees' Teixeira out 8-to-10 weeksTAMPA, Fla., March 6 () -- New York Yankees first baseman Mark Teixeira will be out 8-to-10 weeks with a strained wrist tendon, Manager Joe Girardi said Wednesday.Teixeira sustained the injury Tuesday during batting practice with the Team USA World Baseball Classic squad as they readied for an exhibition game against the Chicago White Sox in Glendale, Ariz.The Yankees slugger was initially diagnosed with a strained forearm and was expected to miss just 7-to-10 days.But after an evaluation by Yankees team physician Dr. Christopher Ahmad and specialist Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser, Teixeira was found to have an ECU tendon sprain and was prescribed four weeks of complete rest, MLB.com reported.The injury means he won't be rejoining the team during Spring Training in Florida and will be out of the New York lineup until mid-May."It's not what you want, but it's what you've got to deal with," Girardi said. "It's life."The Yankees last month also lost slugging outfielder Curtis Granderson for 10 weeks with a fractured right forearm.
