Hello Rory McIlroy!
This young man just made his mark on the PGA tour. In windy and long conditions he made Quail Hallow his personal canvas, painting a masterpiece that will not soon be forgotten. His boyish charm and grin is hard to not enjoy, his smooth swing is spectacular and textbook. He finishes every swing and when he hits it good he twirls the club violently. His swagger is understated but it is his attitude that everyone will soon grow to love, if they haven't already.
Rory McIlroy finished his round Friday directly on the cut line at +1. He then went on a tear that was unrivaled. even, Phil Mickelson, at the top of his game, could not hold off the 20 year old. Thats right, 20! Two days before his 21st birthday McIlroy shot a course record 62, 15 under on the weekend making "the green mile" look small hitting some routine 350 yard drives and sticking approach shots like he was a veteran and the rest of these pros were simply, in his world.
The 40 foot putt he dropped on 18 brought tears to his caddies eyes and I'm sure many viewers watching on TV along with the fans witnessing it live. It was similar to a Masters roar when the ball dropped into the hole, finishing it off with a birdie. He only needed par to break the record but for good measure I guess he just figured, lets light this place on fire and show these people what I got, look out Phil and Tiger, here comes the ROARY!
