Oh for crying out loud. What a load of absolute and complete BS!

All of these armchair experts who see themselves as wise analysts who can't wait for the opportunity to say something critical.

I can just see it now - if he doesn't hang on tomorrow, all of these experts will be shaking their heads and saying "You know, he's a good player, but he can't handle pressure." as if it's an observation that only they could have made.

McIlroy's swing is as close to perfect as you'll ever see.

I hope you are kidding. Name one thing that isnt 100% accurate and rational about my post. I'm waiting...hurry up smart guy. ...waiting. His swing is as close to perfect for sure, that doesnt mean you cant spot where his mistake starts and furher more that has nothing to do with any sort of negative. You perhaps read the post defensively for some personal reason, time to take a deep breath perhaps?

[deasy55]

lol at Zack Johnson waiting for the chants of 'Come On Rory' to die down before hitting. And his caddie losing patience

[mcfc_nick]

part of me wishes that rory wasnt where he is and the score in 2nd place (-5) was leading to make it more exciting, but the other part of me also is enjoying rory hammer the field!

[deasy55]

I've never seen Rory make so many putts. He usually misses 3 or 4 6-8 footers a round.

Anyone else notice how miller is trying to be positive? He opened the telecast apologizing for ripping mcdowell's swing yesterday. Every time he starts to say something negative he realizes it and tries to save face. Sometimes it works and sometimes its just awkward.

[deasy55]

Probably told to get his act together or he's gone.

Thank god I don't have to listen to him for this event.

And that's another few US Open records broken then

Awesome, i hope we are witnessing the start of prolonged greatness from rmac.

[bnz506]

Wow, yesturday I figured if he shot -1 today he would win it... its game over now.  I would bet my house he takes this tournament tomorrow.  I was hoping Yang could keep it close and also a Mickelson come back :(

[MiniBlueDragon]

I think everyone thought today would be the day that everyone else picked up the pace and caught up. Rory had other ideas though methinks...

[senorchipotle]

phil is done. i don't even think he cares anymore now that rory is double digit strokes ahead. which i don't blame him, i  wouldn't want to come in second again either.

[Chilli Dipper]

Well, I guess my Sunday afternoon has opened up a bit. Nobody's catching Rory now, and I'm not going to spend all day wishing for a train wreck.

[deasy55]

Why would anyone wish for a train wreck anyway? I could never wish that on any player....no matter how much i disliked them.

That's why I won't be glued to my couch tomorrow. Rory's lead is insurmountable, and the only way to generate any sort of drama would be if he was to collapse and shoot 80 again. That's certainly not something I want to anticipate, so there's no reason for me to watch the final round in its entirety. I'll tune in for the last few holes, and watch him make the winning putt. Barring the unthinkable, that's all I need to see.

I know they are tv people and they need drama, but in the last 15 min of tv coverage the announcers mentioned rorys final round at augusta at least a dozen times... I mean give it a rest. I hope he wins just so we don't have to hear about it. We need tiger back so he and rory can go at it.
