I'm rooting for this kid today. I followed him a bit on Friday and he has a great game. I think he's the next great golfer.

lhanddds · 20 June 2011, 01:59 AM

I'm with you. He's got such poise for his age and that swing

STEELINOX · 20 June 2011, 02:04 AM

An amazing kid for sure, hope its his day !

Stratsteve · 20 June 2011, 02:13 AM

Go Rory!

Jim232118 · 20 June 2011, 02:15 AM

He is a great golfer! Let's hope he can hold it together and not fall apart like he did at the Masters. So many golfers under estimate the mental strength required to win at that level.

TswaneNguni · 20 June 2011, 02:24 AM

The next "big player"

billyc · 20 June 2011, 02:25 AM

He is a fantastic young golfer, not only that, a wonderful young man who does lots for charity as well, where most would be out with their friends spent time going over to Haiti and helped with young children affected by that disaster... Plus I have £25 on him to win at 18-1...

Had the same on him last time, but he just fell at the last hurdle...

The Joker · 20 June 2011, 03:18 AM

Lets go Rory! .....and Westwood

HL65 · 20 June 2011, 03:19 AM

Like the kid too!! Hope he pulls it off and can finish strong this time!

Sherwooddavid · 20 June 2011, 03:37 AM

I'll be flipping between the ballgame and US open and I'm hoping Rory holds on and wins. He does seem like a great kid and Northern Ireland should be proud !

He inspired me to pick up Golf. I'm only 21 and it's good to see young pros.

snowbird · 20 June 2011, 05:30 AM

I'm rooting for him too. He's on 1 now and so far, so good. I was sorry to see him melt down at Augusta in April and hope he can keep his nerve today.

Julio-F · 20 June 2011, 05:54 AM

He's looking good - should be a straight forward round for him.

He'll have learnt a lot from the Masters and the way he handled himself after that was commendable - he deserves this today!!!

Watchdog · 20 June 2011, 05:59 AM

Seems like a high quality person and certainly an outstanding golfer. I'm rooting for him, especially since he's from Ireland (Northern).

Welshwatchman · 20 June 2011, 06:11 AM

It looks like he's going to walk it from here.

10 shots up and 16 holes to go.

A classy act and that's for sure.

Sarajevo · 20 June 2011, 06:46 AM

I cannot stand golf, but it is nice to see someone so decent, and who stays above any of the sectarian rubbish here in NI, do so well. Especially when he is from 5km up the road....

Sherwooddavid · 20 June 2011, 07:09 AM

A great front 9,the pressure doesn't seem to be getting to him. Go Rory !

HL65 · 20 June 2011, 08:32 AM

Still going strong!! I like this young man- something tells me he will be around a long while!!

HL65 · 20 June 2011, 09:27 AM

Rory!!!!! Huge congrats!!

Sweramic · 20 June 2011, 09:47 AM

Amazing game.. Congrats Rory!

swatty · 20 June 2011, 08:03 PM

He has a great swing , what a fantastic victory

Cru Jones · 20 June 2011, 08:29 PM

makes me think of this.

Gaijin · 20 June 2011, 10:23 PM

Nice job. Congrats to the kid! Seems like a heck of a nice guy unlike Tiger.
