Rory

The best headline I have seen was "Hear the Rors!"
11 under through 2 rounds at the open is just unreal. 

Around 7:30am this morning before the 2nd round, we were discussing if Rory and if has a chance of being a long term great player. Maybe even the heir to Woods lack of dominance from his injuries both physical and mental.

S, leads the pack of people saying its possible and appears likely.
I on the other hand, find his explosive scoring as short term career at the elite level. 
His game is based on putting and driving.  He is an unbelievable putter when he is in his zone.
I love his aggressive attacking swing and how loose it is.  
When he is on, no one but Phil and Tiger would be able to go as low as Rory.
The biggest difference in Rory and the recent greats is his size and short game.
Honestly, I hope I am wrong about a shooting star type of career.

Rory and Ricky Fowler are the same type of player, but Rory hits the fairways and avoids the big numbers.
