Leading another major at the halfway stage, I think he can go on to topple Woods 14 majors as long as he keeps his head straight .

He's streets ahead of anyone else when at his best. I think a combination of getting used to new clubs, and possibly not having the right people around him when he broke through may have had a bearing last year.

Yes, he's playing well but get back to me when he's nearing double figures regarding whether he'll catch Tiger or Jack

Horrific start to his round today. He hasn't approached his best golf all week in fairness. The fact he still has a chance is testament to how good he is.

2 shot lead as he heads to the 18th. Should just get in before it's too dark.

Legend in the making, that's probably his best major win .

Rory has come on leaps and bounds in the last couple of years and is now the main man, wont be long before he overtakes Sevy and Faldo.

Well done Rory. I haven't been his biggest fan, but last night was converted (£10 at 9/2 helped). He seems to have added a steel to his game, mind you fair play to Big Phil, he nearly holed his chip on 18. A great night of golf.
I agree; RM could be the next big thing.
