would be marginal, though he would open up a bit of a gap between 1&2 and the rest
Wilson 50yrd bunker shot,mahan 20 yrd pitch left on 15th.
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.
As I said he is a complete golfing nobody. That bunker shot confirms it
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 !

Come on Rory.....have no greens on westie so don't let me down....
I go out and lee goes from 3 up to 3 down
This is why he will never win a major
Can't perform on Sundays.

Rory gets the job done.....
What time do they start the final ?

waiting for the 3rd/4th place match to be priced up
westwood looked like a punch drunk boxer at the end and has to be taken on at odds on presumably

Punch drunk? he played 8 holes of his back nine (didnt play 18) in -2 with only one bogey
I am beginning to detest Livingstone.
I cannot stand the man. His inane comments do my heid in.

i have both men running for me but i want Mahan to spank Rory.
If I see that fecking RAZR driver advert again, I think I will kick my TV in
bet if i gave alvaro my 10 yr old cobra with stock shaft he will still hit it over that pond. and if i hit that razr shíte i will still end up in the bush
McIlroy made a complete mess of the 7th, paid the price for being too aggressive
Mahan 3 bogeys in his first 7 holes and still 2 in front, awful standard in truth
I think it was Jay Townsend who said..........
course management of a 10 year old
Yer man is dead to the world down a bank, cannot chip for toffee, and Rory ends up next to him.
Incredible scenes.

Should have been a/s thru 7, Rory now going to probably be 3 down after 8...gonna be over quickly at this rate
dear oh dear, the outcome on the line and yer man Rory folds like a cheap suit again
Yep, final match. Very poor quality for a final match.
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
Give it a fkin rest par, ffs. Same old bllx every time. The guy is 22 years of fkin age, and a fkin fantastic golfer. You fkin got that ?
Pressure of being No 1 has effected Rory more than the fatigue.
This is over, Rory been unable to make the putts since the 1st hole. Can't see anyway back now.
dont think one can be too critical of rory here. he is still in the final, this happens in matchplay 
Maggot get real, this is not the first time his ability to handle pressure has been called into question, age is not a factor!!!!
Rory playing better now than in first 3 rounds...finally his luck end here...Hunter by far the best player this week
laid £300 @ 2.6 before final to make sure of some profit but still happy with my man Hunter.
Bruce will never forgive rory for what he did on the 7th
Poor Rory, that hard semi final has really taken it's toll. 
If Rory can get one hole back soon it's not over cos Mahan's a bottle job............fact.
Bruce says that boy wonders brilliance is better than anyone else.
what a load of bull.
what a load of bull.
If Mahan is a "bottle job" what does that make the prodigal son?.
i believe the boy wonder is the second best player in the world and current us open champion not to mention 5 time winner at 22
The old buffer, Bruce is acting as a cheerleader from the commentary box for the young lad.
maggot,
I see the anger management courses aren't working to well son.
Pity.
Thanks for your input though. It is appreciated.

Bruce willing Mahan's ball into the rough.
unlucky old chap....

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.
Well said Maggot.
Trust Purrr to turn up whern the lad is going bad.
PATHETIC !!

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.

many golfers been worse when they got older with more experience under the belt when it comes to close out tournaments
aber........when you win The US OPen by 8 shots...that's EIGHT shots,you can slabber !!
Sergio was a better player at 22 than he is now.
It is not automatic you get better
It is not automatic you get better
all i remember is the little runt costing me a fortune at the Masters.
true about sergio, aussie. i think he even led the euro tour in putting, he was brilliant when he was rory's age 
adam scott perhaps too, faark me he won a shítload of tourneys when he was much younger by huge margins too
So,you haven't won the US Open by 8,that's (EIGHT) shots ?? 
(judge not,lest ye be judged) Rory Chap 1,vers 11. :P

sergio had won 3 pga tournies and 4 euro tournies by the time he was 22
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
there we have another one at his antics.
Bob Allenby 2 clear playing the last and doubles it, dear oh dear.
They make it hard for themselves.

Hunter's day.......fair play to him.
Onece again the Aussies and The S Africans were also rans.
hey ho.

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.

Yes rolly,but how many Majors have Serg and Adsam won ?
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 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.

I would bring back capital punishment as a one off and hang David Livingstone.
He is doing my head in.

Point is gawd boy,Ernie and Greg still remain the TWO biggest bottlers in world golf.
Meanwhile,I am STILL laying the has been,at 7.6 for the Masters !!

ernie and norman over 150 wins between them, such bottlers 
ernie and norman probably more wins between them than all golfers from your 'country' since the beginning of time
hunter should be trying to win a hole and stop looking at half's
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 gonna be world no 1 for a very long time and win multiple majors and can be proud again of his performance this week
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
Still not sure about Rory`s putting under pressure. In the US Open he putted great but once he starts missing he can become very average.
Livingstone just said that the final was earlier this morning,will betfair be paying out on rory as the winner?
took so much out of themselves this morning ?
were the other two not playing semis this morning either ?

livingstone has had his day, give up move over let someone that is not condecending take over and be the link man he cant be
