US Open

Mcllroy is at again at the US Open...

Leading the first round after hitting a 65... He just needs to learn how to finish it off now and not bottle it like the masters

What's the odds on McIllroy joking again. Hope for him and golf though that he holds nerve as it needs him and he deserves q major

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Sadly I think he will choke. The boy has talent but reckon the nerves might get the better of him. But I do hope I am wrong.

Another good day for McIllroy but I'm still reserving judgement until he acts under pressure ie last 4/5 holes on Saturday and on Sunday when most eyes will possibly be on him.

McIlroy had a good day but finished with a double bogey... He's possibly the most talented golfer there is but he's pretty mentally frail

 

[Leonormous Boozer]

I think he'll hold out this time. It's the one McDowell won last year and he'd think it'd great to suceed his best mate on tour. I think if he plays the next 2 days par or better he'll win.

Well thats you lot well and truly put in your place.

Brilliant last round from McIlroy last night, was really impressed with him.

Absolutely fantastic display all round by McIlroy. Very composed! He totally dominated the field. I would be surprised if we don't see him win a few more majors in the coming years

well i don't watch or play golf, but always look out to see if someone other than an american wins something. So congrats to McIlroy, awesome stuff

I think he'll win The Open or the USPGA this year. If it wasn't for 9 holes at Augusta he'd be half way to a grand slam, unbelievable.
