At the AT&T Pro AM at Pebble Beach I suggested taking a punt on Phil Mickelson...I was pretty close. Now the PGA Tour heads to the Northern Trust Open. Rory McIlroy is in the field and so is golf’s other iconic lefty, Bubba Watson. Should be a great week.
Rory McIlroy nearly hit the pin from 268 yards out on his final hole to set up a tap in Eagle and a place in the final three-ball for the fog delayed third round.
Rory McIlroy went to the Facebook headquarters in Dublin yesterday to celebrate reaching one million Facebook users. While there and enjoying the free food, Rory answered some questions from his fans on a variety of subjects including Man Utd, tournament plans for next season, and what he wants for Christmas!
Rory’s got a new plan for 2016, that’ll hopefully have him in peak condition for The Masters. Talking to the fans while taking a tour of Facebook’s office in Dublin, McIlroy had this to say.
This Rory McIlroy lookalike was no match for Barry McGuigan, who called him out straight away.
After a great performance at last week’s WGC-HSBC Champions in Shanghai, Danny Willett must be raring to go this week. And he’s hoping that a strong finish will see him make the Race to Dubai “all but over.”
Rumour has it that Rory McIlroy is thinking of skipping the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth next year. On the eve of the Turkish Airlines Open he’s said that he doesn’t like playing two events in a row, and will try and limit himself to a maximum of three events in a row for next year.
Rory’s gander is properly back up, which is good to hear, especially after this final round performance at East Lakes, when it looked like he had completely lost interest. Now Rory is saying that the exploits of rivals Jordan Spieth - named yesterday as the PGA Tour player of the year - and Jason Day have given him "a sense of hunger again".
So they've all had a nice week off and now it's back to business for the world's 70 best golfers as they descend on Conway Farms this weekend for the penultimate tournament of the 2015 FedEx Cup.
World number errr...., two? Or is it one? Anyway, top performing golfer Rory McIlroy has announced he will play at the Turkish Airlines Open in October.

Jordan Spieth missed the cut this week at The Barclays. It happens. We got so used to Tiger Woods being seemingly infallible when he was World Number One that everyone panics that the end of the world is nigh when the official best player in the world misses the cut. A panic that Jordan will never play a good round again. Yet even the best don’t play the weekend every tournament.
