Rory McIlroy - World Number 1

[Crawfy]

Hats off to you Rory. (Honda scorecard 66, 67, 66, 69)

Now to right the wrongs of Augusta, and rack up multi-Majors and cement yourself as on of the greats in the game.

Stay grounded ( as much as you can), keep playing with a swagger and smile - keep inspiring the kids who are starting to pick up golf clubs.

Congratulations !!!

I really hope he rids himself of his Augusta nightmare and totally rips it up this year. Either way I think he'll win. He was under pressure a lot today and handled it with pure brilliance.

 

[Imurg]

Superb performances in recent Months.
Well deserved to be Number 1.

Could be there for a while if he has good finishes at the WGC and Masters

Roll on Rory

[Flarkey]

[wolfie]

Bring on the Rory strut!!!

 

[mchivers]

great end to a good day. well done that man

 

[Achilles]

Here, here! Another dominating performance and fully deserving of becoming World Number 1! I truly believe his Masters blow-up last year has helped get him where he is now and think it's going to take something special to knock him off his perch now. Congratulations Rory! Now go rip up Augusta!! :thup:

Rory you little gem!!

What a great finish from Lee and Tiger though. Golf is so exiting at the top these days.

[wull]

I've questioned Rors putting in the past, he certainly rammed that back in my face tonight.

Good solid victory.

 

[Wayman]

[DavidO]

Well done Rory.

Deserved No 1 status.

 

[chrisd]

absolutely brilliant and I think between him Luke and Lee that it's in British hands for a while

 

[need_my_wedge]

Very composed yesterday, great scrambling to get it back when it went astray and some really solid putting. Was very pleased for the lad, a worthy holder, and long may he stay there.

 

[Junior]

The manner in which he pulled it off was incredible. Questions were asked about his short game and last night he answered them all on 14,15 and 17.

 

[ArnoldArmChewer]

Nice guy, hope he stays there and has many more wins, a really good role model for youngsters to look up to.

 

[Oddsocks]

The composure shown was awesome and the short game in my opinion is what earned him that #1 spot yesturday.

Just hope now he's achieved it he can relax a little and excel from here.:cheers:

Imurg & I went to the Belfry in Sept 2007 for the European Masters which is where Rory made his Pro debut aged 17

He has come a long way in those 4 1/2 years and I think he will be a dominant figure for years to come,
Its going to be even harder for westwood to pick up a major now, as Young Rory will always be in the way.
