Rory McIlroy - 4 Time Major Winner

I think it's awful that Sarah stark asks everyone at the sky cart about how rory is playing before getting into the chat about their own rounds.

Bit of a bore so far .

It was always going to be hard for anyone to get close enough to worry Rory. Would have been interesting to see Rory playing 18 with a 2 shot lead.

Ridiculous length and accuracy

It is just dawning on me - that if Rory keeps this up - Sunday evenings could be a bit like watching Steve Davis and Hendry in their wonder years.

Holy Christ that drive and iron from Rory is just mind boggling

22 under now. On course to win more tournaments before 30 than any other non-USA golfer (sounds like a made up category).

Lead of 7 shots with 2 to play is incredible.

Rory stumbling along to a 7 shot lead. Almost too easy, well I guess it was.

Well done.

WOW

Rory McIlroy now has 6 wins in last 19 worldwide starts. 12 top-5s, 15 top-10s in that same span.

He is nice to listen to - and a bit there. A bit of character.

Most top lads are total bores.

He is now very very comfortable. (lol he just said that)

Very impressive victory

Tiger was robotic in interviews. Rory speaks off the cuff. Much more refreshing imo.

Stumbling, that's exactly what I was thinking as I watch the procession, not pushed by Simpson made things easier for him.

Even worse - I hear he has a Game Golf - a Loudmouth trousers fetish and leaves his pull trolley on the wrong side of the green when JP not around. Also hear when he is playing up North off tour - he feels good enough for Galvin Green and loves slow play and telling lads they have a good score going on the 9th. Some man for giving swing tips at the weekend 4 ball back at Holywood.

U didnt even realise I was using game golf yesterday until I told u leave game golf out a dis. See u didn't mention his excessive use of Bushnell and GPS watch wonder why ...I jk btw

FixdePitchmark

On a side note.

Was looking at JP there thinking - isn't he a happy man these days.

"I got the golden ticket".

That must be the most amazing hole I've ever seen played.

360 yard drive, wedge to 18 inches. tap in birdie and it's 510 yards. Holy God!:eek:

Played a monthly medal yesterday. Struggled hugely. If I could hit a 'free' PW after every drive, I'd be in Rory territory for distance. It just might make things just a little easier. :rolleyes:

He better make the cut at the Irish open!

No probs I should have said European. I remember it was a big thing for any Golfer this side of the world to win a USPGA tour event in the 80's however nowadays it's a regular thing

For all the figures, the yardage, the club.. the swing... LOL Jave a look at Lee triviano and his untidy and what looked like erratic power swing. Then Seve... his short game rescued him time and again..

The magic is harnessing the talent, and using it to the best advantage.

Triviano v Jacklin... one, home grown, the other a purist....

Then add in the hours of practice and.. the age they start.

A nice touch with the "winning caddy" trophy... not sure if that is a new thing? It's funny how things go... this time last year, people were calling for JP's sacking and ridiculing Rory on his club change.

This time last year Caroline was getting a text.

He has to be the most honest ever at giving interviews, originally when he was a young chap i didnt like him because of the ryder cup coments but i changed my mind after hearing his interview after fooking up his masters lead a few years ago he was down right honest about what e did wrong and said he wouod fix it for the next major which of course he did, then when he is playing well like this weeknd he is not afraid to say how good it feels ect, hope he dont change that about himself.

I was having that very discussion on Saturday. This time last year he was ranked 10 in the world. Since then 7 wins; European PGA, The Open, WGC, PGA, Dubai, WGC Matchplay, Quail Hollow.
