Is Rory McIlroy going to become the British Tiger Woods ?

[IamSimontemplar]

Us Irish have a more subtle way of claiming celebs. "he has Irish heritage"...hehe eg Obama his great great great granduncle came from toomevara..... Lol !!!!
Hey laa.....nger what's with the 'simple' shot? Laaaaange

[akasomeoneelse]

in fairness the bbc are calling him british...that means he is winning...if he chokes again he will be "an unlucky irishman"

Exactly like Eugene Laverty (Eurosport call him a great Britsh rider even when he's waving a tricolour). It would be easier if everyone left nationalites out of sport for anything other than the olympics/ world cup etc.

Hope he goes on to win if he does it would truly be remarkable that the US Open would be won by 2 golfers from the same small area of Ireland for 2 years in a row.
