Being still in a busy season, only picked some videos to watch. Heard that McIlroy was a victory that was remarkable in so many ways. He was so controlled in his play that there were only 10 of the 72 holes he played that he did not reach the green in regulation figures, a US Open record. He led from start to finish, only the sixth man in 111 years to do that, became the youngest champion since Bobby Jones in 1923. McIlroy has much of the “boy next door” about him. Amazing to hear that he has charmed the world not only because he plays golf in a way that few can understand but because at the same time he has a character that seems almost without fault at the age of 22. There are some catching up to watch the whole game.
He said:“I think the course did me a few favors this week, with the condition of it,” he said. “If this golf course was firm and hard, I don’t think anyone could have got to 16-under par.… I said this on Friday, after I came out and everyone was talking about the lowest 36-hole score, the lowest this, the lowest that, I said, it’s nice, but I’ll be able to enjoy it a little bit more if I have the trophy on Sunday. And it’s worked out that way.”
A source says that McIlroy became the fifth straight international player to win a major, joining Charl Schwartzel, Martin Kaymer, Louis Oosthuizen and McDowell.
