He is -3 after 4 at the transitions championship............he must read this
10 under for the round...not bad going that

I'm running the risk of committing sacrilege here I know....but..he may be the best golfer in the world at the minute...he has done amazing stuff for Europe in the Ryder cup etc...but he has been under the spotlight big time over the last few days and I can't help but come to the conclusion that he's a bit of a tool. His mate Gee Mac isnt much better and maybe worse...

Anyone else find them to be annoying, spoilt, rich, mid atlantic speaking arseholes???

Yup, I do. Mind you I feel the same about every cnut in the premier league.

I find their fake sounding accents amusing.

Not really. He's a youngster excelling and he's keeping his feet on the ground much better than many young stars in other disciplines.

I actually prefer Gmac to be honest but it's not because I dislike Rory. What has Gmac done to incur the wrath?

I was thinking 5 Sams was a bot harsh alright and then I saw the time of his posting ;)

I know a couple of guys that went up to the Pro-Am on the Wednesday of the Irish Open and were getting stuff signed by various players around the course, they said McIlroy and Clarke wouldn't give any of them the time of day and refused to sign anything, GMac was the total opposite, couldn't do enough for the fans.
Let no-one say the best hurlers belong to the past. They are with us now, and better yet to come

Was just thinking that.

McIlroy seems a bit of a tool at times but I do think he carries himself well most of the time considering how young he is and the pressure on him.  I wouldn't have a bad word to say about McDowell, seems very likeable.

All I know is that I can think of at least 20 local GAA "stars" who have achieved alot less than these fella's and yet still carry themselves around like their dog's bollocks. See the splinter in your own eye.

Rory Mc Ilroy's maternal uncle was a prominent Armagh GAA star in the early 80s.Regarding flags etc in this neck of the woods,if you're a sports star you do what you have to do to suit th occasion (didn't Rangers fan Darren Clarke wrap himself in an Irish Tricolour at the end of the Ryder Cup at K Club in 2006?).

Orior

A good measure is this (and if you are old enough). How would you feel if Rory was your son?

I think he is quite simply the best ambassador that Irish golf has ever had. We will see whether he can reach the heights of Jack Nicholas.
