As the youngest golfer to win the US Open since Bobby Jones in 1923, and the second Irish Man in succession, Rory must be on cloud nine after such an emphatic victory at the US Open course in Maryland last night. Several critics wondered whether he could recover from the disappointment of Augusta national only two months ago. They have now been rendered speechless after he broke several records on his way to victory over the last four days and finishing 16 under par!

With a back to back victory for Northern Ireland after Graham McDowell’s victory last year, the trophy now returns to Ireland. The country will be very proud of their hero, but not as proud as his dad, Gerry, who had a Father’s Day he will remember forever.
