Rory resets sights on third Major

He might have struggled with the sheer size and weight of the Rodman Wanamaker Trophy, but Rory McIlroy was more relieved on Sunday night to rid himself of the heavy burden of expectation.

Capturing last year’s US Open had quickly buried the demons of his Masters meltdown but question marks were being raised following his commanding Congressional performance whether McIlroy had the class to become a multiple Major champion.

He did that in wonderful style, strolling carefree down the final fairway of the Ocean Course in Kiawah Island as though he was playing in a Sunday afternoon medal match at Holywood Golf Club.
