It looks like he's going to get his first major victory in the next few hours. We should be proud that we have both Graham McDowell and Rory McIlroy doing so well and are both such gentlemen. They both reflect so well on our little country.

(Just don't bottle it Rory!!!)

    The boy's got talent no question. Hit a bump in the road a few months ago admittedly but he has the potential to be one of the greatest. Maybe the greatest. :)

    Well done Rory! Stunning win. Never looked in doubt after the first round. The best us open 4 rounds of all time.

    Well done Rory. Have just been looking through the Majors Golf stats and Jack Nicklaus is in a league of his own in golf history IMHO. Rory will do well to get half of his record.

    Well done Rory. Pity it was not on TV (apart from Sky maybe). Watched the leaderboard on the BBC red button. A bit nerve wrecking waiting for the dive in score, but good old Rory kept it cool the whole way through.

    Possibly the fact that Graeme McDowell won it last year helped him a lot. Now could Daren Clarke do it next year and make it a hat trick for Norn Irn?

    The US Open should be staged next year at the home of the Trophy "Our Wee Country" :j

    Brilliant display by the wee lad from start to finish, he never had a nerve in his body and won with grace and humility. Big Mac and Wee Mac are 2 true ambassadors for our country and give us some really positive world headlines for a change, long may it continue:T
    I am trying, honest;) very trying according to my dear OH:rotfl:
