Rory McIlroy wins Quail Hollow

[btasse]

That was an unbelivable round of golf on one of the toughest course on the tour.... Wow....

[Paulio]

Agreed. He put on a show! I knew it was a matter of time for that kid. He is going to be a good one!

[byerxa]

Phil figured a 68 would be enough to win. Little did he know...

Wow, 62 on Sunday for the win on a tough course. Rory simply tore it up.

[jvincent]

Rory certainly steamrolled the field with the 62.

[bobblehead]

Rory ate up the green mile

-16 on the weekend is unbelieveable!

Man that was pretty to watch. That 5 iron to the par five that he stuck to about 8 feet was one of the purest looking golf swings I have ever witnessed.

*** cost me $1500

Amazing play by Rory. If Angel Cabrera sunk a couple more of those shorter putts it might've made it a bit closer, besides the putting he was playing really well too. Great tournament though.

How did that happen????

They were saying on Saturday that Cabrera had not missed a 3 footer in a year. He started missing a few on the week end. He did play very well; i think he had about 8 putts inside 10-12 feet on Sunday and missed all of them. If he made half of those putts he would have been very close.

Phil also played very well; when he made that 45 footer on the back nine i thought he was going to make a charge at it. Then he 3 putted 17 after Rory made that great putt on 18..... Probably knocked the lights out of him. But it was great to see him make the birdie on 18 and get second place by himself.

I thought it was 3 feet...... I also thought the one he pulled out of the sand on the next hole was incredible.

Another thing that struck me was the many players that came out to congratulate him after the end of his round. And i gotta say the Phil and his caddy "Bones" showed a lot of class by congratulating Rory for winning the tournament.

Rory was obviously emotional as he walked up the 18th fairway but his gesture of applauding the spectators both then and after he holed out on 18, shows amazing maturity for someone so young. Great play! And a good young man. What a contrast!

A brilliant display , and i hope we can finally see the start of something great here. He had a few missed cuts earlier this season , and its amazing to think he almost did it again on friday. I'm glad to see a local boy doing great.

i had $150 on phil at 10:1 and if it wasnt for RM, i would have won. thems the breaks

[Slicer&Dicer]

This was an unbelievable performance on a tough course at the right time. Unfortunately, Phil and the others couldn't do much as Rory made it look easy. Good on Rory, good for golf.

Too bad Silly, that would have been a nice sum of cash, it would have subsidized some of your golf ball bets, lol ...
