After blowing his 54 hole lead at the Masters, and finishing with a dreadful 82 Rory McIlroy has bounced back. Showing no signs of carry over from the Masters, Rory has jumped out to a 3 shot lead at the 2011 U.S. Open. He shot 6 under par today, with Schwartzel and Yang tied for second at three under. Being grouped with Phil Mickelson didn't phase him one bit. He told Phil to suck on his red freckly balls and beat him by 9 strokes. This kid has swagger. Will he be able to build on this lead and win his first major at the age of 22? Or will he choke it all away again? Who knows. But, I like his style and I like his moves. I'm rootin for the Irishman. I think he has learned from his performance at the Masters and he can pull off a victory. That's right, Rory McIlroy is going to win the U.S. Open. Some great golf today in Bethesda, MD.
