Rory

Is this going to be the next "most hated" guy for all you 606 ers to talk about in the coming years? He is British but not English, and is successful and I know after years and years on here how much you guys hate that combination. On a personal note I find him a breath of fresh air to watch and his golf is sensational. Long live the new King that is Rory Mcllroy, the run away leader of the current US Open who has broken 4 different records throughout the history of this particular event in doing so.

Great to see so many positive comments about this young golfing genius. It's a breath of fresh air reading your comments after the pain and torture I had to endure on 606 over the years, where winners were slated for just about everything, from the clothes they wore, to the hair style they had, to their personality being this, that and the other. I think we are all going to be toasting the new king of golf tonight. A guy who win, and does it with a cheeky face and a smile. Woods never gave us any of that, unless he was winning. Lets enjoy this victory together

He has now hit his 6 iron 214 yards and the ball stops about 10 cm from the hole on the scarry 10th par 3 hole. He continues to lead by about 10 shots and is playing the kind of golf that is impossible for everybody else on this tour to compete with. The highlight for me is his smiling face, personality and youthful joy. We have been robbed of that for years

We never had that with Tiger (unless you fell for his fake smile.)

People defended Tiger by saying all they cared about what his golf. We won't have to hear that with Rory.

He'll have tougher challenges ahead; on days when he's not quite so accurate i don't see his putting being good enough to compensate. But at that level; no golfer today will touch him. He only missed about 8 greens

I think i ehard the commentator saying he had only one 3 putt the full 72 holes and it came on the 16th on the final round.

also was that shane mcmahon(from wwe wrestling) with his dad at the end

The reason he only three putted once was because he routinely hit it within 12 feet of the pin.

Which is incredible, especially when compared to a major winner like Mickelson who spent half his time in rough.

The young generation look miles ahead of the old guard.

It is going to be fascinating to see what happens for the rest of the season, and I still smile at his casual attitude to the ryder cup when he burst on to the scene. The kid is a breath of fresh air, and I hope he can get himself into the ryder cup system and win us some points. That competition is my favourite sporting occasion in any sport, and he could be our star man?

I prefer the majors TBH. I don't think the Americans really care for the Ryder cup, although not amny golf fans seemed to accept that and preferred to praise our boys.

The way golf is right now, the Americans won't even be competitive in the Ryder Cup. Considering it took Europe till 1980 to produce a masters winner, that's a great turnaround for us.
