That will do it !!!!!

That for me was his best of the lot so far

Battled brilliantly and showed great character
 
Fantastic final round and great entertainment all weekend. Taking the bookies to the cleaners doesn't harm either! I might not be so chipper in 3.5 hours when the alarm is blaring in me ear.
 
Can you imagine what Rory will be like when he gets used to these pesky Nike clubs
 
The best finish to a Major this season by miles. It was compulsive viewing and Rory showed you need a bit of luck as well as a real fighting spirit to win in those circumstances.
Golfing Gods are with some people and against others, but how Rorys drive off the 18th did not drop into the hazard only gravity will know. What a win though and he will just get better and better.

The footage of Mickelson watching it was great. You could see the sportmanship side willing it to stay in play and the personal side hoping it wouldn't so that it could open up an opportunity for him to win.
 
Phil is one of the best sportsmen around heck I am even warming to Ricky F. Rory was awesome, especially with all the fans whooping the group in front all the way round, that has to be pretty tough.
 
A wee bit of luck in that one methinks. At least the expression on his face when he hit it leads me to believe the result was better than expected ;)


im not sure. I think chasing it was the only way to get the ball up onto the green at 280 yards. his normal ball flight would go too high and not get any run and come up short!


my initial reaction was that he had pulled it but watching it over again. it was either perfect or a fluke! ;)

Think it was a bit of both - was looking to get it as far up as possible but got it in the club face just a touch lower than planned but worked out perfect

Think it was a bit of luck myself. His reaction gave the game away, plus it is a shape he very very very rarely hits or attempts, especially with the same club that got him in trouble 3 times before with a hook over the previous 4 days.

Just like Fowler who twice heeled his 3 wood on the second shot on the par 5 over water and twice got away with it as it cleared the hazard by yards on both occasions.

The better you are, the luckier you get.

I wish I could fluke it 281 yards onto the green :D
Bottled at 11pm as I had an early start but it was great viewing up until then. Gutted I missed the finish as they showed bugger all on the BBC this morning apart from a few pics.
