Rory McIlroy - 5 Time Major Winner and Grandslam legend

McIlroy off to his usual stinking start. 4 behind Scheffler after four holes .🙄

I find it kind of icky watching world no.2 ,Grand Slammer playing like a 10 handicapper.

Must be some bandits in your club if they're knocking the ball around like Rory with a 10 handicap.

His mid-range putting is abysmal. Yesterday and today he had about 7 chances from 10 to 12 ft-not hole one.

The stats tell the story. Today he lost almost 4 strokes to the field in putting .29th of the 30.

late getting to this, Friday evening 2nd round of Irish open, almost holed 2nd to par 5 18th.

Then proceeds to miss eagle putt from all of 5 feet!!!

Sure, when you need the other guy to put it in the water to win, it's hardly hard!!! 😏😁

Seriously though, great finish to the match, and fought back all the way.

And I'm sure all the naysayers were at the K-Club today to enjoy the golf.

I properly lost it with that putt on 18. What a performance at the end. Felt for Lagergren also. Rory looks in super form for the RC now.

Great afternoon of golf. Rory just superb!

Interesting stat -Rory had only one bogey in his last 57 holes. Pretty high class performance of disciplined controlled golf.

He has let tournaments slip through leaking sloppy bogeys but not this w.end.

His distance putting is just awesome.

Stayed away from all source's and watched from 9pm. Brilliant win, some putt on 72nd.

Phenomenal stuff by him, that shot in on 18 was only average but what a putt.

I felt once he got it to a playoff, there was only one winner.

He is going to bounce across the water to Wentworth now and hopefully on to the Ryder Cup.

I know he showed glimpses of form over the weekend but the form of Shane Lowry has to be a concern for Luke Donald.

100% to all of that. The antipathy towards him is part NI, part golf (people view it as entitled, spoilt kids, etc despite him being neither and his parents making lots of sacrifice to afford him the opportunity), part money.

Yes all the American players are so dour, so uninteresting, so guarded in their every move. Fair play to Rory he hasn't held back from a microphone at any stage and said what he thinks.

The sport will indeed miss him when he's done.

Couldn't agree more. Rory will go down as a giant in the game and does have a big following in the States. However, Tiger is a deity-like figure. He's absolutely worshipped and known well beyond the sport.

It's the same as Michael Jordan. The footprint of their cultural impact is enormous. You're talking about 2 of the most well-known athletes of all time. It doesn't take away anything that Rory has done; he is just not at that level of celebrity. Scottie won't be either.

If Tiger played the Irish Open, you'd have droves of people coming from the USA and Europe just to catch a glimpse.
