McIlroy’s golf swing already has drawn more praise

 We're talking tall cotton. The comparisons with other prodigies Jack, Seve, the Sunday red shirt guy only would strengthen by using these a feat.

McIlroy's swing movement already has drawn more praise than Meryl Streep on the Oscars. And by knocking off Westwood inside the Sunday morning match, he showed some testosterone, too.

All things considered, Lee will be the guy who noted publicly after Rory's Sunday Masters meltdown that he's got a pull hook inside bag under pressure, and dismissed Rory's Saturday night U.S. Open lead by sniffing, He's had leads before.

After falling 3-down to Westwood within the first four holes on Sunday morning, it appeared McIlroy could be given a noogie by the putative big discount golf clubs brotherfigure from the European golf scene. But li'l Rors says etc his Titleist hat, RORS bowed up. He made seven birdies inside a 10-hole stretch, rattled Westwood and grew some hair on his chest. Bye bye, Lee.

There have been only a couple of things left on Rory's to-do list: One ended up being defeat major-less Hunter Mahan within the final, who was simply famously noticed in match play chili-dipping a chip within the Ryder Cup-clinching match loss to Graeme McDowell in Ireland this season.

The opposite task was a a bit more symbolic. He required to establish in the minds of golf fans, pundits and his fellow players that Rory McIlroy, indeed, includes a thirst for Callaway Big Bertha Diablo Driver blood; that Rory McIlroy is a stone-cold killer.

The situation with like a prodigy is that people like me hold one to prodigy standards. This means with McIlroy where there already is so much to like we want all this. We would like him to try out beautifully, to captivate us on Sundays, to realize greatness.

There have been some nagging thoughts about McIlroy's killer instinct. After he imploded on the 2011 Masters, he handled the fallout graciously, including comedic, perspective-laden tweets, and won only admiration. The next Titleist AP2 710 Forged Irons week, however, McIlroy took a 36-hole lead in Malaysia but still did not close the deal. Again, he tweeted out exclamation point-laden congrats to Matteo Manassero.

There's something to be said for sportsmanship, but there is also something to become said if you are an aching loser. Sore losers who've great talent usually produce burning motivation and tremendous future performances.
