Rory McIlroy

[mcfc_nick]

You're class - that is all

[Giddyup]

That shot out of the fairway bunker with a 7i was nothing short of amazing.

[DarkPrince]

I hope to hell that this kid wins today, anything is better than another Phil win, and I definitely support a young guy winning lol (except fowler) :P

When he's on, he's ON! Very similar to AK actually.

First round: 72
Second round: 73
Third round: 66
Fourth round: Who knows

[Chilli Dipper]

I bet the programming suits at CBS don't appreciate having an hour of dead air once Rory holes out at 18.

[DarkPrince]

So its locked up, no way phil can catch him now ;) and holy cow for that final birdie! :P

[BonoVox]

Omg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty dang cool! Guess he can go have a late lunch while he waits for his trouphy! LOL

[Chilli Dipper]

Winner, winner, chicken dinner! Welcome to the big show, Rory.

anything is better than another Phil win

Wow. So if isn't Tiger, its Phil? I just don't understand.. what's sad is, it is so prevalent in all aspects of society and has become the norm to be a "hater"

that being said, Rory put on quite a display coming down the stretch on one tough track. He shot the course record right? That's so awesome for a young gun on the PGA Tour, looks like that wont be the last...

[Woters]

I just want to sa,y as a VERY happy & proud Ulsterman like Rory, that staying up to watch him destroy that level of competiton at one of the PGA's hardest tracks was a total joy.

You guys in the US may not have seen him before or only heard the hype, but now you see what we in Europe have known for years, McIlroy arrived in the big leagues AGES ago!

It was never could he win in America, more like when he would. Well done Rors, Northern Ireland will be buzzing tonight!!

All i can say is 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 40ft..... 3!

Congrats to Rory. I am just glad that Tiger missed the cut, so we could actually watch Rory play. Lately, you get to see Tiger play like crap, and hear about the great golf someone else is playing.

[Stretch]

Great golf! I'm happy for Brendon De Jonge, too. $300,000 for fourth is, like, 120 million Zimbabwe dollars!

Ain't that the truth. This kid needs to win like 5 more tournaments this year so that golf can have a fresh face that isn't so distracting from...well...golf.

You can add at least another 6 zeroes to that! More by Wednesday...

As for Rory - wow. Just....WOW!!! He must be tempted to hire a plane and fly off to a British jurisdiction, where he could raise a glass or two of something sparkling, with a bit of a kick to it! And won't his parents be over the moon? They must be blubbing like girlies right now. Thak goodness tomorrow is a public holiday in the UK!

[Felenah]

OMG What a wonderful day for Rory, broke the course record, shot a wonderful 62, congrats to him he deserves all the praise.
