He’s won the Irish open twice so he can definitely handle the conditions ok, couple of the days in Portstewart were fairly wet and nasty, (the only days I was there :( )

That is exactly what I was saying the other today. Looks so so good on TV.

Couldn't it be that Rory taught him how to have a better swing than he had in the past? (Gave him the resources - access to elite golf monitoring systems, etc).

No sir; that kind of smooth and flexibility is God given talent. Rory just has more of it. I grew up watching kids swing like their fathers. Dads with really good swings had sons with really good swings. My own Dad thought it was because the kids emulated their fathers (or occasionally mothers). I think it’s more genetic than that. Born with talent; then you have to work hard to perfect it.

Justin Rose was -8 through 9 hole! To be fair, conditions are pretty benign but these guys just rip up Kingsbarns and The Old Course when they get the chance.

Completely agree. Swing changes/tips don't bless you with what you describe above.

Rory's dad was/is a scratch golfer. So likely a bit of the other way around. ;)

 

That said, this tournament is a tour of the courses I played on my trip to Scotland back in June and watching it is making me really nostalgic.
