It's hard to believe it's 7 years since he won his last major. He's too good to be "stuck" on four major wins. Mcilroy has one of the most impressive resumes on the PGA Tour. He's done everything except win at Augusta (The Masters) He's got to start winning majors again.

Humble, talented, funny and easy going. What a great champion he was in 2011. Still like watching him today.

Hope Rory wins a Masters to get that elusive career slam. It's almost unreal that it has eluded him so far and he got second place in 2022. He can do it.

I was there at the first round when I was in 1st grade. Got Louis Oostuizen's golf ball and still have it in a box in my bedroom, by far one of my most prized possessions. Shame I can barely remember a thing from that day.

I love Chris Berman’s commentary. He was literally born for it.

[leroyrodgers]

His swing looks perfect here. I think he needs to come back and watch this swing. He is completely in balance here.

[CJU]

Golf... So pretty to watch when played by the best!

[janideberg]

Would love to see Rory, with newly won self esteem from last victory, going in to major season. You hardly saw any mishit back then and always going for the pin. Awesome!!

[joshuagillock]

Dude had complete command of his golf ball all weekend! Absolutely AMAZING performance! Cheers Rors!

[StaffandStormcloud]

That kid making faces in the interview after round one definitely ran out into traffic 5 minutes later, got hit by a bus, and had to be put down

[fedup]

To hit that many really good golf shots over 4 days is incredible. That is the best golf I have ever seen from any player, ever.

[tigerbait]

Rory. Look at the stride. So much confidence. Pure.

[StFidjnr]

jason day said it heading to the final round of that year's U.S open "I Will win this tournament played under Rory's shadow"

[method]

Rory's swing is majestic here. If has a snappy action that's not as accentuated these days.

[mannycampuzano]

7:36, that dude in the background got some serious eyelash game

[adrianwells]

Very enjoyable to watch this: golden days

[scottcarroll]

Hard to believe it's been six years since Rory last won a major. And even harder to believe it's been three years since Spieth won a tournament at all.

[claytoncopeland]

The dislikes are from past & current PGA players who never finished Top 5 in any Major.

[cricketgc]

Great champion, showed us what he is made of in 2011. What a natural talent. Most beautiful golf swing.

[debonair]

Fabulous, golf with excellence 👍🏌️⛳️ God bless Rory McIIroy
