McIlroy success no surprise to former headmaster

Rory McIlroy’s former headmaster admits the Ulsterman’s dominant victory at the US Open came as “no surprise”.

The 22-year-old cast aside any fears of a repeat of his Masters heartache in last night’s final round at Congressional, producing a nerveless score of 69 to complete an eight-shot success and secure a first major victory with a record low tournament total of 16 under par.
