    ...well? Will he hold on?

    Will he turn around the sporting weekend after the disappointment in the Euros yesterday?

    He would be an extremely popular winner, by all accounts a very amiable character. Hope he shows he has a ruthless streak and closes it out.

    Fully expect him to close it out. Feckin legend already and he's not even 30.

    He was a big loss for the Offaly hurlers.

    Just so long as his gut doesn't get in the way of his swing before the 18th...

    Won the Irish Open back in 09 and WGC Bridgestone Invitational last year, currently ranked at 41 in the world.

    Yes, he'll win it out. Some talent and a very grounded lad.

    How much will he win?
    Will this be his biggest pay day.

    $1.8 million (based on last years number), without a doubt the biggest pay day I'd say.

    It would, not just prize money but sponsorship, especially winning in the US, suspect it's worth more than the British Open.

    And of course, to win a major? I don't think the money will motivate him, he has made millions already. It's a chance to go down in golfing history.

    Prize money irrelevant. The sponsorship on the back of a win would be worth close to a 100m. Ask GMAC and he's not even liked.

    He always comes across as an extremely grounded and friendly sort of guy. Fans, other players and journalists all seem to have nothing but good things to say about him.

    I have a small e/w bet on him taken at very generous odds yesterday which has heightened my interest even further.

    He's great, an inspiration. And a great beard! I hope he pulls through after watching that sorry lot yesterday.

    Hope he does it. Gives all of us fatties hope. Proves you don't need to be a fit bugger to compete at the top

    A lot of disappointment about things sporting this weekend. Hope he does close it out but it's the final day of the US open...the nerves will be there.

    One thing's for certain: if he does win, he'll be a "British golfer" by this evening. He seems very down-to-earth/no notions about him so I hope he does it. In terms of an underdog doing it, it would be the golfing equivalent of Clare winning the 1995 hurling final.

    You won't get much more topical (last post a few seconds before this one). And it's about golf too!

    Level par or 1 under should do it for him.

    Should be a good evening's viewing watching him bring it home!

    Is he any more inspirational than any other successful sportsman in all fairness.

    Really hope he wins as I'm from Offaly but I dread this completely overdoing it that occurs anytime anyone from Ireland does well in sport.
