Rory McIlroy

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

agreed, that was awesome

[DarkPrince]

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"

Its not a tiger-phil thing, I've just never liked the guy period. I'd take any of the new guys winning, or seasoned pro's over phil lol. I'd personally like to see Camilo win a major this year, or at least a few more tournaments. On subject though, I hope McIlroy wins a few more this year, or at least 1 more and a good showing at the British Open.

McIlroy crushed 'The Green Mile'.
If I had to pick any hole it would the Par 5 15th: 352yd drive splitting the fairway, 205yd 5-iron in and 3ft putt for eagle....that was perfect golf.

This kid seemed unstoppable on the course today! Those putts and that one fairway bunker shot onto the green was incredible.

Go Rory!

[DavidFehertysBike]

OMG! Rory is better than all other golfers ever to exist combined! Im geeked!

[MSDOGS1976]

You're class - that is all

Yes he is. Hope he wins a major soon. Golf needs a new star that has some personality and class.

Rory McIlroy has the shots of Tiger and the manners of Phil.

That second shot into 15 was as a pure a golf shot that I've seen in a long time. Even the sound, or complete lack of it, so smooth, and such a perfectly balanced finished.

That 62 was well deserved... I'm sure it's the start of many things to come

I've been waited so long to see new and young players to compete and become dominant figures as Phil & Tiger..and Rory finally did it in a way that no one can ask for more. AK, Vilegas, Fowler, Danny Kim, Ryo Ishikawa, and Rory's talent have been appraised and promised. We all knew they are going to be front runners of game of golf for next decades but couldn't picture one can stand up tall among current big figures like phil & tiger. I only imagined that could happened if those young promising players go into day 4 and competing against Tiger/Phil head to head and crush them in scorecard.

Closest one I can think of is AK vs Tiger at last pair at Congressional last year but gave it away to Tiger. Rory had his chance at this year at Dubai against Westwood to be #1 in European Tour but didn't happen. Finally Rory did it.

Now Rory opened the door for new era of golf and I'm hoping to see many above mentioned young players follow Rory's success. Interesting thing on these youngsters is fact that they can really go low any given day (Rory made 15 under on last 2 days at QH, AK's 65 at Master's, Ishikawa's 58 yesterday). So.. Be aware. it's not 4 under per day over 4 days is the only answer to holding a trophy. we will see a lot of low 60's from these players and change our perception of strategies to win a tournament.

I have to agree, for me the 2nd shot on 15 was amazing.
Well done Rory

What a round of golf!!!!! Wasn't looking at him as a contender Sunday, but man did he put on a show. Glad he got his 1st win over here and hope he continues his winning ways. Golf needs a young man on the leader board more often. Couldn't have happened to a nicer young man!!!

[hipcheck4u]

I just watched the end of Rory's fourth round on my DVR. That 50 foot bomb on 18 was never going to miss. Amazing win. Great to see the young guns coming up. I think that we are in for a treat over the next decade with the likes of Rory, Fowler, AK, Camilo, et al.

Great performance and a great guy. He is a confident player but wears his confidence well. I am from Northern Ireland also, and I met Rory at the UK PGA event last year at Wentworth. I spoke to him, and he heard the familiar accent and stopped, and he chatted to me in a relaxed and unhurried way for a few minutes.

Total class act.

My cousin Knows a guy that knows rorys brother. His brother could follow in his footsteps he is a very low handicap if i remember correctly

[enis750]

yep, was pretty stoked to see ol R Mac take this one home
i too watched it on the PVR after and all i can say is "outstanding"
I have been a fan of his for a while now...even follow him on his website and such

watching these young guns come up and play the way they do is great

[nevets88]

No disrespect to the veterans on the leaderboard - Love, Mayfair, McCarron, Cabrerra, etc... but it's nice to see fresh faces winning and younger players on the leaderboard.
