I'd always an Irish one then got a british one (mainly for handieness) and thats up next year i think, so will get an Irish one next time

Curates egg of a day for Rory dropped 2 shots early in the round and 2 late on but a great run of 6 birdies and an eagle in the middle of the round keeps him well in there.
Good to see he's not taking too much notice of what's written about him on here he's -8 for his last 8 holes.Few sights better in golf than McIlroy on the charge like that!!
Looking like a 3 way playoff going down the 18th - Rory, Smith and Storm.Or will someone win it on the last?Exciting stuff.
Great back story with Storm, thought he lost his tour card by €100 at the end of last season. To go from that to going head to head and ultimately beating Rory down the stretch in a tournament is fantastic..
