"If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with triumph and disaster
And treat those two imposters just the same"

Well done Rory McIlroy. You may have made a complete ricket of the final round at the Masters, but the way you dealt with it was very impressive. :)

Just thought when I saw Rory speak what a lovely young man he is and how well he spoke for his 21 years.  I know he will come back stronger, but Ireland can be proud of him.  He could teach Rooney a lesson any day.

Not everyone is a Boris Becker, winning titles from day one - Rory, like Andy Murray, just needs to go from great player to absolute winner. And both will.

I thought that the thread started by H about Mc Ilroy didn't need to be hijacked by your continual sniping [:(!]

I'm not really convinced that Murray has the required mental toughness to win a grand slam title.

I have to keep reminding myself that this young man is still only 21 years of age. To demonstrate that amount of maturity at that age is simply remarkable. I don't doubt that he will achieve great things but if he doesn't ever win a major then he will still be someone ever so special.
