McIlroys been superb but I wish Sky would stop banging on about how he hits the ball so far and that he's the first guy to get to -13 in a US Open. It's been the same bloody comments for the last 2 days! Starting to sound like they have man crushes going on.

With all my runners out of contention I hope Rory keeps this going and wins it well but this -13 (should be -14 very quickly) will mean nothing if he doesn't win the tournament. Sky should remember the Masters. If Rory can stay at -14 then he can probably get away with shooting a 74 on the final day and still winning.

go on, Rory lad

Just do what I do Carnegie, mute the commentry, and have youtube on,

Might give it a go tomorrow



Favourite bit was earlier on when they were talking about Rory not been able to sleep last night. First question they asked him was what he got up to last night and he responded by telling them instead of watching the film he was going to watch he fell asleep, nice one Sky

love it

He should have said "I've just had one off the wrist, cos I played that good, and I slept like a baby" . I bet that'd make Di Dougherty blush [size=85especially if he'd said 'I was thinking of you, Di"[/size

Not a chance that McIlroy can screw this up like he did the Masters. The lead is far too great.

Pleased for him

Wouldn't say that mate. He should cruise home with room to spare. But he only needs to shoot a 75 to give the others a genuine shot at it. One of the chasing pack will shoot a 65 or 66 in my opinion. Should be a good day of golf with McIlroy winning with plenty to spare hopefully.

Hopefully he will do. Would love to see him finally win a major. Think Yang will be in the running as will Westy, but if RMac just takes his time, lays up if it's easier to do that rather than going for the pin, he'll take the spoils.

Agree with that. Sensible, percentage golf is what he needs today and he'll stroll it, no matter what others do. Will need a magic round from one of the others to even challenge. Bit gutted for Westy. He'll prob come second again and except for RMac would be taking his first major.

Exactly. He could shoot 71 par and still win, maybe even a couple over par. He shouldn't worry though, keep it calm, don't try anything daft and Northern Ireland will have a 2nd US Open winner in two years.

Come on Rory lad finish it off

-16. McIlroy. BEAST


Enough said

I'm sat here in awe of McIlroy, the only time I have seen anyone play better was Tiger Woods at the US Open in 2000 at Pebble beach and I only say that was better because it was a tougher setup and conditions!

Amazing

Anyone else get the feeling that we are going to be seeing a fair few showdowns between McIroy and Day in the future? Both exciting young players.

Tipped him at the start of the week and was going to have a bet as he was around 25-1 but never!

Really pleased for him after what happened at the masters.

Rory McIlroy

Brilliant final day by Mcilroy, well brilliant weeks golf - finally he's delivered.

Takes some going to lead a major like he has done, superb. Well played

Gutted that I didn't back him this week as I usually do but it's been bloody brilliant watching him rip the course a new one. Superb.

What a performance!!!

I got 20-1 thursday morning on Rory and took it.

First time i've bet on the golf, he is a massive talent and has always looked like he was the new Tiger.

Thats the last time anyone will ever be able to bet on Rory. Until Tiger comes back he will be the favourite going into every comp now after that 4 day performance. What I thought was awesome yesterday is that he finished under par playing the most conservative I have ever seen him play. Had he attacked the 1st putt yesterday I reckon he would have been at least -20 for the comp.

I hope thats the start of something special now and he is only about 10 months behind Tiger as far as 1st Majors go. Also Tiger was 23 years 8 months when he won his 2nd. That gives Rory 6 more Majors to tie with him and the way he has play 7 of the 8 rounds in the Majors so far this year I wouldnt bet against him.

Rory has confirmed today he wont play until the British open now. A shame, but at the same time it's not like he's an American who has to come over and get used to our corses.

Bubba Watson showing once more why I can't stand him.

Refusing to share a courtesy car with another player and demanding his own and saying he was homesick because he was playing on the European tour (just because he missed the cut), all whilst getting paid 200k for doing fook all



American player in being a bad loser shocker!



I knew the yanks wouldn't like le golf national, good luck in the ryder cup when it's there if you manage to qualify you muppet



He also said he doesn't want to play in Europe again, guess he's forgot about the open championship in a few weeks and the ryder cup being here every 4 years!

Well said, send the moaning pr!ck back home. Golf's an individual sport yet Watson's blamed everyone else but himself, it's a childish rant about anything and everything. He's played the shots, he's been awful and he's got himself +6 nobody else.

If nobody had a camera or a phone and there was a lot more security does he think that would've had got him through to the weekend? Idiot.
