Rory calls off wedding!

To be honest Mcilroy is a spoilt brat who struggles to be a man, he conducts himself wrongly and now he has devastated a young woman who is better off without him cos he would have to have consult his family with every issue to do with his marriage and her life would have been hell.The bloke couldnt play golf and handle marriage let alone kids without his parents there wiping his ****.Back in the day when Jack was married with 5 kids he would take them all with him on tour and he was still a champion, Mcilroy would have had everything taken care of nowdays but he still cant handle it, poor lamb....I hope he doesent make the cut at the PGA and drops outside the top 500 and leave elite pro golf to real people.

I must admit I am looking forward to watching Rory hacking it around Wentworth this afternoon :thup: glad I put my money on Tommy now and not the "favorite".

Well, he hacked it round rather well!

Shame Bjorn managed to blow it, but a worthy winner!

I still don't think he'll compete successfully in the majors and there will be a reaction to last weeks announcement somewhere down the line and I think he'll still have a dip. That said, today he played brilliantly. Its when he gets some time alone to reflect I wonder how he's head will be.

Hey Homeslice, maybe you could take that New Golf Thinking and apply it to everyday life? Be a bit more positive and optimistic. Maybe, just maybe, this could be the start of a glorious run from Rory. Competing in Majors, a smile on his face. Golf would be better for it.. Lets hope so... Well, except Shivas, who isn't jealous.. Honest Guv...

Nothing to do with NGT. I just think he has been poorly advised by management and his PR team and although he played superbly this week, I think like any major trauma in someones personal life, it takes time to hit home and that it will be the next few weeks that the split will hit. I think it will have an impact on his golf (for a while at least) but I hope that he gets another lady in his life in time and finds some proper stability in his life. He is a fantastic golfer and I'd hate to see him waste that in a George Best (without the booze) kind of way. I hope he can kick on and if he proves me completely wrong I'll be the first to say well done

He is a young lad who has already reached the top of his game winning majors and had no "real issues" off or on the course and you are mentioning George Best and waste ?!

He split up with a few management companies ( no real issue ) , moved manufacturer ( no real issue ) , split up with his long term gf ( sad for him ) yet still performs week in week out

This season in the last 10 events he has won 1 , no missed cuts - 8 top tens and one top 20 !! - think he is doing alright

he has already proved your initial theory wrong by winning the PGA

I'm still entitled to my opinion and disagree with you. Please respect that

When did someone say you werent entitled to an opinion ?

Just so far on Mcilroy it appears that its wrong going by what we see ? - you cant argue with his results

Unless you can bring up some facts about what exactly he has been poorly advised about ?

Another argument and you want facts. Enough now. My opinion is there for you to see. I've said my piece on what I think has and will happen

Who is arguing - you have posted an opinion and im just asking for some facts to clarify this " poor advice " he has recieved - what has he been advised poorly about exactly ?

You said he would go on a slump - he then won the PGA ?
 
Not read all the thread but hats off to Rory. I don't think this week has been easy for him and he's handled it very maturely. Even on winning he was somewhat subdued and I think respectful to his ex who might be even more hurt if he were to do a song skip and dance at winning. I'd rather Luke win (always) BUT felt a new warmth towards Rory and whatever happens I never tire of watching his golf swing.

Good news for the Ryder Cup and good news for European golf so not sure what's not to like...

He did look a mixture of emotionally drained and relieved - must have been a hard week for him but the crowds where amazing ( to all the players ). Very mature reaction :thup:

I said....he will go home and the enormity of the split will hit home and I think he'll struggle. Said my piece. End of interest now as your just turning it into some sort of point scoring exercise (not for the first time).

Its quite simple homer - its not point scoring or arguing etc

You said he has been badly advised - im just trying to find out exactly what you believe he has been badly advised about - if you dont know or are not sure exactly then thats fine - just say that .

Looking from the outside his career seems spot on so far so im struggling to see the bad advice he has been given ?
 
Great final day suspense till the end.
Really great to see great crowds supporting our own,even though most have deserted
over the pond.
Shame the European tour is not so lucrative.

This is what I mean by point scoring. I say I'm finished and like a dog with a bone you never let it lie. I'm out.

It was trying to clarify a point you made on a forum Homer - simple as that.

It appears you cant - there was no argument , no point scoring but you turned it that way by putting up the barrier when someone asked you about the opinion you posted.

Let's put this in perspective - Rory's a young man, it's not his first girlfriend and surely won't be his last. It was obviously traumatic at the time, but now it is over he can move on with his life and I just don't see it affecting him as some might think it will.

Really pleased for him that he won and can now perhaps enjoy his single status and have some fun with his friends and family.

Bet he will win another Major this year!
