RORY MCILROY - THE CLIMB TO THE 2011 US OPEN

[jpsartrean]

Kudos to Rory - indeed, I was DEAD wrong. A win for the ages and astounding display. I will, however, say that Congressional was NOT set up as a U.S. Open typically is... the rough was NOT like it was back when the Open truly was the toughest examination in all of golf. Nonetheless, Rory was a marvel and I can admit I was wrong - completely wrong.

[stanconsidine]

amazing how all the irish are taking claim to his victory cos hes "one of our own".... pathetic really, people will take claim to anything i guess, even the winner of a golf game....

[glantanem]

@stanconsidine what are u talking about you fool

[x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx]

lads rory has noting near the game kaymer and mcdowell have really.

[xzxzDManxzxz]

Rory Mcilroy = next major championship winner

[francis080072]

Lee westwoods caddy trys to put rory off in the video at the end

[AdyMarshallsongs]

Thats the only round he's ever shot over 70 tho and the weather was practically unplayable on the Friday. The lads a genius. Defo think he will win a major in the next 12months

[x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx]

@AdyMarshallsongs weather was playable he played shit. he played alot of golf on links to know wat to do. he simply played shit and didnt tink bout what he was doing

[jpsartrean]

I do appreciate both McIlroy's etiquette as well as his swing, I just think he is over-hyped (or at least at this point). 63 is amazing.... but coughing up an 80 the following day is just as (un)impressive. A major in the next 12 months? He shot 74-77 to miss the cut at Augusta earlier this year, and 75-77 to miss the cut at the U.S. Open. More likely he shoots 90 at Whistling Strait in the upcoming PGA as opposed to winning imho. Zero chance to win at Augusta nor Congressional in 2011.

[jpsartrean]

@jpsartrean Then again, the British is at Royal St. George's next year, and if Norman and even Ben Curtis can win there, maybe McIlroy will have a shot.... Sorry, but he'll definitely never win at Augusta though - his putting is trash.

[INCHMARLODC]

@jpsartrean - Rory Mcilroy - 2011 US Open Champion at Congressional !!!!

[OhHelloo]

@INCHMARLODC Haha well said my friend. @jpsartrean how does eating your words taste??

[Spuddle16]

@jpsartrean

You were saying?

[jayteetee35]

@jpsartrean hmmmmmm...



[glantanem]

@jpsartrean ur sum fuckin idiot hahahahaha

[ollycopter]

@jpsartrean Oh thats just too funny.. Have stumbled across your gem of a post... Masters nearly proved you wrong and showed his greatness potential.. Congressional sealed it.. He is special, he is rated and he is here to stayFeel that??? Its the egg dripping of your face bruv ;-)

[yellabeast]

@jpsartrean haha bet u wish you didnt write that hes better than you think mate

[jpsartrean]

63 Friday at the Open, 80 on Saturday.... Maybe you should create another video called "The Collapse" - McIlroy is the new Sergio...

[INCHMARLODC]

@jpsartrean - Garcia is not even in Mcilroy's league. His short game and putting are very suspect and my 3 year old grandaughter has a better attitude !! Rory is a true gentleman. He will win a major in the next 12 months - watch this space. He is still learning his trade. His 63 was on Thursday. The wind on Friday was gusting up to 50 mph. I have played St Andrews in high winds and I can understand why many of the Pros were shooting the high 70's !!!

[x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx]

@INCHMARLODC no rory just played shit on friday. simple as 

[earthshine2k]

@INCHMARLODC to jpsartrean's point, Sergio's short game and putting were the envy of the golf world when he came along in the late 90's. Everyone considered him a fun loving kid without arrogance and was a 'can't miss' to duel Tiger Woods for years to come in Major championships. So, when the next great Euro-baby comes along, we're skeptical to say the least. McIlroy certainly has mad game, but Justin Rose, Lee Westwood, as well as Sergio had mad game, too.

[x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx]

@INCHMARLODC i love rory and still say he collapsed with the 80. it wasent the wind

[INCHMARLODC]

@x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx - Friday at the Open was a day to defend - and Rory attacked -

as he usually does. I am sure Rory and JP have learned their lesson and moved on.

[grayham30]

@INCHMARLODC At the end of the day The Open and The Masters were what i would call a practice major, if everyone out there thinks you are going to win your first major on your first attempt in contention... YOUR WRONG! It will take a few more majors yet but it will come! :)

[ollycopter]

@x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx 50 mph winds at the home of golf and you call it a collapse? Daft, no one collapses on friday. Sunday you might have had a case.. Nearly everyone out at the same time scored in the high 70s low 80s.

[iiredeye]

@jpsartrean I love listening to all the doubters and haters rant on about people like Rory, this kid came from the most humble of backgrounds in Northern Ireland, his Mum and Dad held down 2 jobs each to help finance his golf as a junior, his dad in particular worked all day, and then all night in a bar. He now drives a Lamborghini at the age of 21, and his parents now live in a huge house and want for nothing. What car do drive?....lol

[olss333]

@jpsartrean haha don't make me laugh. with the upmost respect - you're talking out your arse! This boy is the future! not only is his swing absolutely impeccable but his short game shines out like a diamond ring, Sergio has possibly the worst attitude of a professional golfer I have ever seen but Rory's behaviour and attitude on the golf course is immaculate, not to mention Sergio's awful touch around the greens. Don't doubt people like Rory, he's gonna be something special, don't be so jealous!

[ssjadam]

@jpsartrean whaa? the collapse? dude Rory hasnt even been playing as long as sergio in the spot lights. Its one of the first seasons hes played so many championships, his career has only begun, comparing him to Sergio is horrible.

[ollycopter]

@jpsartrean You obviously did not watch the tournament. He was completely blown out in round two, had no chance.. If Louis had gone out the same time there would have been a different winner that weekend, and everyone knows it.. But thats the beauty of golf..

[rayallenwhoelse21]

@jpsartrean hey i want to see you try?you would be lucky if you hit a 90...that would probably be the bes round in you life... a lot easier to critisize when yor not actually playing the game.

[rayallenwhoelse21]

@jpsartrean and guess what mcilroy just happens to be the first player ever to hit 11 under in the first round and hes doing the best out of anyone in the world he setting records right now ....

[glantanem]

@jpsartrean and maybe you should actually have a bit of knowledge on a topic you clearly know nothing about.

[tfalk20]

@jpsartrean HE WAS LIKE 21 yrs OLD WHEN HE SHOT THAT.. MY goodness. Give the kid a break.

[x1R1SHxG0LF3Rx]

you must love rory man haha. great vid btw

[iiredeye]

Awesome Video, great choice of music, and a lesson in the art of the golf swing for anyone in the world to copy, and I mean anyone. Swing at 3.39 is pure genius. This is how a (small ish) man can generate such immense power. Pure class Rory!

[mcgrattan1]

at about 3:24 what did that guy behind mcilroy throw at him?

[mcgrattan1]

at 3:23 what did that guy throw at him ?

[INCHMARLODC]

@mcgrattan1 - Lee Westwood's caddie - Billy Foster throws part of an apple at Rory to put him off.

It was a 9 hole fun challange match under flood lights - hence the dark video.

[mcgrattan1]

@INCHMARLODC hahaha thats pretty sweet  man. do you have like connections to mcilroy??

[INCHMARLODC]

@mcgrattan1 - Thanks - no I do not have any connections with Rory - but I did speak

to him and his father in Dubai when I filmed this video. His website manager linked this video to his official site for a few weeks which was great. The St Andrews video was also linked to his site last year.

[mcgrattan1]

at around 3:22, what did they guy throw at mcilroy?

[jenadeda]

tahnks...my handicap is 6,9...but everyone says my swing is better...my problem is short game now...

[jenadeda]

best video i´ve ever seen

[INCHMARLODC]

@jenadeda - Thanks - glad you like this video. It was linked to Rory's official website for about 2 months. I had a look at your swing - looks good - what is your handicap ??

[jenadeda]

@INCHMARLODC thanks...my handicap is 6,9...but everyone says my swing is better...my problem is short game now...

[alexdevil417]

it's hard for him to survive in US. he's swing is not consistence yet. but i believe tat he's gonna make it'!!

[golfprogress]

Wow, very cool video, this kid really has all the shots doesn't he?

[irisheyesrsmilininus]

Good video. I liked your previous one as well. This kid is sooooooo talented. I hope he burns it up here in the U.S. I'm glad I'll have more chances to watch him play. GO RORY.

[gybochop]

why does that caddie throw something at him during his swing?

[xKiNGP1N]

nice vid

[INCHMARLODC]

THANKS - GLAD YOU LIKE IT
