By His Blatant Brilliance And Titanic Failure, Rory McIlroy Proved Once And For All That He's An Irishman

Tough day for Rory. His drive on 1 was so sweet, but when that par putt didn't fall, the nerves start to tighten. Everything on the front 9 seemed like damage limitation. By 10, it was curtains. Personally, I think Tiger spooked him. Another 80. It's hard to imagine a Poulter or a Westwood crashing so phenomenally, but when have we ever seen any current player in Ireland or Britain string together three rounds in a major a la McIlroy this weekend? There was something very Irish about it all. After yesterday, the green jacket will wear all the better when he does win it.
