Rory McIlroy’s Incredible Win at Quail Hollow Championship

Rory McIlroy has showed a lot of promise after turning professional at 18 just a couple of years ago. He beat Phil Mickelson and Angel Cabrera, this years and last years Masters Champions respectively. Rory is finally coming into his own after overcoming some back problems over the past year or so which is unusual for such a young man of only twenty years old.
He shot an unprecedented final round score of 62, which broke the course record by two but his eagle 3 on Friday allowed him to make the cut and give him the opportunity for the win. Tiger Woods struggled and missed the cut for only the sixth time in his career. His play was predictable given the stress of his pending divorce from Elin Nordegren, and the isolation from his children. But this day was about Rory McIlroy who is hitting golf balls with the best of them. I knew this was going to be an interesting golf season and it was good to see Phil in the hunt again so soon after his Masters victory a few weeks back . Phil made a late charge but a bogey on the final nine all but ended his chances for a win.
Congratulations to Rory McIlroy, who won the Quail Hollow Championship in style with a closing 62 on Sunday. Happy Golfing to All!
