i feel the turnaround for rory came with that bunker shot at the hong kong on the 18th. had he messed up that tourney it could have given him serious self doubts. instead i think it made him a believer in his own abilities. that was also the turnaround for from rory layer to non-rory layer. not a backer quite yet, but he has been very impressive. possibly in a different league to other pros at the moment, with the exception of luke, but i think rory in the next few years will just run away with the rankings - dont think he will open up a 10 or 11 point gap like tiger did, but he could certainly open up a 5 point gap over the number 2.

In his last 10 tournaments Rory has only been out of the top 5 once . That was when he had suspected dengue fever , can assure anyone unfamiliar with dengue that playing golf with those symptoms and finishing ( 11th ) is a minor miracle .
Have not seen any of this tournament as I am away foreign , came home from a charity dinner this evening and Rory was 3 down , now he is 3 up . Figures suggest he changed gear after 4 holes , but not seeing it I can only surmise . The golf world wants Rory No 1 , he is box office more so than Luke and Lee , fine players though they are . Still a round plus to go though !

Yer man is dead to the world down a bank, cannot chip for toffee, and Rory ends up next to him.
Incredible scenes.
I think it was Jay Townsend who said..........course management of a 10 year oldYer man is dead to the world down a bank, cannot chip for toffee, and Rory ends up next to him.Incredible scenes.
Something that was maybe overlooked before, the intensity of the Westwood/Rory match - world numbers 2 and 3 both trying to get to number 1, was probably quite draining for both above and beyond the rigours of playing to win a tourney

Orzabal. Of course age is a factor. It's a fkin huge factor. With age comes experience. This kid has already won more than most golfers do in a lifetime, yet still the line of mugs wanting to knock him down gets longer. Tragic, yet not unexpected.

If age is a factor how come Tiger won so many event at a similar age?
after all he laughingly keeps on being compared to the great man.
When Rory can have a moresome with 4 playboy models and win the Masters the next day, he will have my respect.

I remember Baby Jebus shot 59 round Augusta.......then she made australia and south africa.
I also remember Charl and Jason,at the start of this...........long gone.

chill heinz, im not knocking rory, i think he is brilliant. i was just saying that sergio and adam scott had tiger-esque futures ahead of them when they were in their early 20s

Rory is a brilliant golfer, but i wish he was not hyped so much by an adoring media.
Obviously it is not his fault that the media bow at his feet but his golfing record does not merit the adulation imo.

I could go on and on and on. Shaun Micheel, etc etc
Colin Montgomerie was different class to all them and never won a major. Bad luck to run into guys playing awesome and a bad shot on th 72nd hole once.
Andy North won two US Opens.Lee Janzen won two US Opens.Larry Mize won a Masters.Let's not mention Todd Hamilton or Ben Curtis.I could go on and on and on. Shaun Micheel, etc etcColin Montgomerie was different class to all them and never won a major.

for all thoughs that are only to quick at calling these golfers bottlers
try standing on the first at your local course with everyone around or the 18 putting a 5 footer if you think thats a little off putting multiply it 1000 times over, they dont miss because it means nothing

rory is quality, he has everything all he needs to do in my opinion is decide more often when to defend a score, he is the white european tiger and we should be well behind him. there are only 2 golfers i dislike and both are because they act like tw@ts at tournaments and give little to the fans. rory if definately not one of them

Well done Hunter, deserving winner, had a great week. About time he got back on the winner's list and after his play over the last 4 or 5 months a win had been coming. Can he keep it going is the question.
