Champion happy to play role model

All of a sudden it’s a very different 16 the world of golf is talking about.

Instead of the 16 different winners of the last 16 Majors, it is the fact that Rory McIlroy has now won two Majors by an incredible combined margin of 16 strokes.

No wonder McIlroy upgraded his season from B to A+ immediately after his latest tour de force, one that took the tournament’s biggest win off Jack Nicklaus and left Tiger Woods — absent from Congressional last summer — in the dust 11 strokes back.
