Rory Proves Himself A Much Needed Hero

What a story, Rory.
All of us need heroes, and just now we wanted one fairly badly.
This very weekend, England's cricketers are hurtling towards another rudderless defeat at Lord's.
And this with the news bulletins ruled by innocents being shot in the sky, apparently by rebels with a cause and a surface-to-air missile.
Into all this steps a marginally gawky looking 25-year old with a golfing talent to make his competitions weep.
If it was all about ability, Rory McIlroy might well already hav www.crossingthesimpson.com. greater than two important titles in his bag.
Both Rory's Open (2011) and USPGA (2012) successes came by enormous borders.
Since then, "stuff" has got in the way somewhat.
Changing everything is dangerous, and so it proved. New direction business, new sponsorship deal (securing him enough wealth to make him swoon without the demand to lift a club), clubs that are new.
And his on-off relationship took his eye off the golf ball (for all his protestations to the contrary). It all ended in May, days after wedding invitations were sent out.
But group tells.
His two-shot triumph makes him only the third golfer in history to win three of the four majors by age 25.
The others were Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods. McIlroy is in that territory now.
I asked spectators in pouring rain arriving yesterday who they most needed to see. The first said the second Woods McIlroy,.
If McIlroy keeps the remainder of his life in https://www.crossingthesimpson.com/mens-nike-blazer-low-premium-retro-shoes-black-white-outlet-online.html.form, he can be a colossus bestriding the sport landscape for 20 years - albeit at 5 foot 8 (bringing forth Wozniacki's catty Instagram comment last week that she could now wear high heels for the first time in three years).
The 1969 Open Champ, Tony Jacklin, told Sky News this weekend : "T Nike Free 4.0 V2.ere's so much in life that can happen to derail anybody.
"The people encircling you can bring you down. You have got to weave through those scenarios in life. Stay well, stay healthy and shield yourself.
"The sky is the limit for this particular lad."
His dad saw all this coming. Gerry McIlroy scoops GBP50,000 from a stake he put 10 years past that his boy would win the Open by age 25.
But here's the final twist.
If McIlroy was tempted to tweet his ex-husband along the lines of "Stick your high heels on that", hours before his win, she won a title of her own, the Istanbul Cup.
