U.S. Open 7McIlroy Wins the 2011 ChampionshipRory McIlroy shot a 2-under-par 69 in Sunday’s final round onthe Blue Course at Congressional Country Club in Bethesda,Md., for a record-breaking 16-under-par 268 total to claimthe 111th U.S. Open Championship. His score in relation to paris four better than Tiger Woods’ 12-under at Pebble Beach in2000, and his final total eclipsed the previous 72-hole low of272 by four strokes.“There’s a lot of joy, and especially with this victory, there’squite a bit of relief, as well. More joy, though,” McIlroy said.“I knew going out today that I was very comfortable. I knewmost of the field was going to have a hard time to catch up tothe score that I was on. Just very happy to win the U.S. Openand to win it in a bit of style, as well, is always nice.”The magnitude of McIlroy’s wire-to-wire victory overshadowedseveral noteworthy performances behind him. Mostnotable was Australian Jason Day, 23, runner-up in his secondsuccessive major. Day shot nine under on the weekend to finishat 8-under 276, eight strokes behind McIlroy.Tied for third at 6-under 278 were 2009 PGA champion Y.E.Yang (a final-round 71), world No. 2 Lee Westwood (70) andunlikely Americans Robert Garrigus (70) and Kevin Chappell(66), both of whom qualified for the championship.The undeniable story, though, was McIlroy. He began theweek with a bogey-free 6-under 65 and for the week hetotaled only three bogeys and one double bogey. He hit 62of 72 greens in regulation, which is a record for as long as theUSGA has been tracking such a statistic.Perhaps most important about the win is that McIlroy quellsrepeated references to his final-round Masters collapse –when he shot an 80 – and prompts speculation as to howmany more majors he can win.At 22 years, one month and 15 days, McIlroy is the youngestU.S. Open champion since Bob Jones in 1923 (21 years,three months, 28 days) and the second-youngest player towin a major in the past 80 years. Tiger Woods was 10 monthsyounger when he won the 1997 Masters.“I didn’t have a chance to play with Tiger when he was in hisreal prime, but this guy is the best I’ve ever seen, simple asthat,” said Graeme McDowell, a fellow Northern Irishmanwhose reign as U.S. Open champion ended with a 2-under282. “He’s great for golf. He’s a breath of fresh air for the gameand perhaps we’re ready for golf’s next superstar, and maybeRory is it.”Some observers will use the fact that 22 players finished at orbelow par on a course that never became as penal as USGAofficials might have hoped. In 2000, Woods won by 15 strokesin windy, foggy conditions at Pebble Beach (Calif.) Golf Linksand the runner-up score was three over par.“[The USGA] stuck with their game plan all week, which wasto let us have some fun,” said Davis Love III, the 1997 PGAchampion and 2012 U.S. Ryder Cup captain. “The last three orfour years it seems like the Open has been a lot more fun thanit was at Oakmont (2007) or Winged Foot (2006).”While this is McIlroy’s first major, many of his peers could seethis coming. Westwood pointed out McIlroy’s final-round10-under 62 at the 2010 Wells Fargo Championship on a U.S.Open-like Quail Hollow Club course as an example of hisimmense talent.McIlroy may be the one most surprised by his rapid ascension.“If you had asked me when I turned pro when I was 18, ‘Doyou think you’d win a major by the time you’re 22?’ I wouldhave said no,” he said. “I would have liked to have been anestablished player on the European Tour, maybe a couple ofwins. But to contend in the majors how I have so early, I don’treally know what I can put it down to … if it’s just hard workand practice, or if I feel like I just have a little bit more focus orintensity for major weeks.“I’m surprised that I’ve done it so early. It’s a great thing forme. I can always call myself a major champion now and I cango ahead and focus on trying to get some more.”Open
