MclL-God

For the first time in my life of golf viewing life, I was pulling for a foreign player to blow everyone in a golf tournament out.

Watching Rory McIlroy play this week was just unbelievable.
The accolades he received are well earned and his press conferences afterwards showed the difference between Rory and most of the American players.  

My biggest surprise of the entire week was listening to the other players talk about his talent.  I had heard rumors and comments about his ability, but this week I heard almost a worship type of talk that is usually been reserved for only 3 players in the last 30 years.  Jack, Tiger and Phil. 

That US open winner McDowell would make a comment that practicing with Rory made him feel bad afterwards is just crazy.   Pro golfers have to live on positive energy and fight the thoughts that someone can do things that they as a player cannot do.

What an incredible showing.

It was stunning to hear the players' comments the last 2 days when referring to Rory. We'll see. Certainly his attitude is refreshing if nothing else. With everyone searching for the next great one, the pressure on him now will mount. I hope he can handle it.
