I've liked his character ever since the meltdown.

I wish he would start trying.

If Rory can play even or better on the back today he may just run away with this thing.

if Augusta is any indicator

I'm sure he'll struggle somewhere along the way, but I just don't see another epic collapse... Somebody is going to have to go get him.

 

[orange+white=heaven]

big par there..

 

[vol4eva]

Rory is killin it....

 

[Co. Aytch]

So, is Rory staying away from the driver for a reason?

 

[orange+white=heaven]

Sure hope to see MTSU's Brett Patterson have a nice first round.

just saw his name pass by...+9 thru8 and not going to make the weekend..

Bet he had a good time though.

 

[OrangeVol79]

I think he learned from Augusta and will runaway with it this time.
He is a good for the sport. The tides have turned.

Rory has potential to be everything Sergio was supposed to be, only even more "like-able". I'm excited for the future of the sport that there is a potentially new, younger superstar, making a seamless transition from the phenomenon that is Tiger.

And I couldn't care less that he's a European.

Sergio has grown on me over the years.

well said... great story unfolding.

I've liked Sergio too, but he failed to handle his rise very well, and never truly backed up with a huge win at a Major. After All, that's what we all use as the measuring stick. I still wish him well.

Amazing Rory's eye doesn't get messed up watching Phil spray the ball all over the place...

 

[JTrainDavis]

Had totally forgotten about Ty Tryon.

So is it safe to say if Rory just stood in the fairway, he wouldnt risk getting hit by one of Lefty's shots?

Rory is upset he barely missed an eagle that would have pushed him to -13.

He is miles ahead of everyone else this week.

 

[emainvol]

Welp, Rory McIlroy now owns the record for the lowest score reached in the US Open

 

[volinbham]

-13 now - crazy. Should have stayed home today.
