Rory McIlroy WITB: shot at the 2014 WGC-Accenture Match Play

[ALEXtheGREAT]

I cannot wait to see him play in person at the U.S Open this year. It's going to be a real treat.

You're going to pleased. I definitely was seeing his game in person last week at the WGC, what a great week.

He signed my 006 LE cover, stood from feet from me in one of his shots, got to see him on the range and was awesome.

A treat indeed to see the best player in the world play his best and win a tournament. A golf week that I won't forget anytime soon.

Followed him for the days I was around and got to see some bad and good golf from him, mostly good. But when he was in trouble or losing, he pulled through.

Sadly, the WGC will be in Texas next year. Hopefully I can catch him at the U.S. Open as well.

its always pretty cool having a tournament at your or local club... i watched so much at the Scottish open last year(before vacation on the Saturday), my dad was in the bar having a drink with Ernie Els... all the players just wondering around next to you.

Mcilroy is impressive but what surprised me he hits it lower in person than he does on TV.... its his hitting through the ball that is what really got me and made me thinking about my golf... him and Fowler...

He was super nice i remember a little kids got his autograph after he was finish at the range and he was soooooo happy... he took his time signing.... remembers without he viewers there is no professional golf...

I find it interesting that Rory decided not to switch to the Vapor Pro Irons

Why change the irons that you won 2 majors and multiple events with?

Also, still being tweaked to his liking, only gamed it at one event.

Can someone please speak to Rory's apparent switching from a low/low shaft like the Kuro Kage TiNi last year to the mid/mid Diamana S+ Blue this year?

Bump...interested in this switch too...

Interesting. I thought it would be at least 1 hour. I thought he would spend more time on the putting green too.

When I followed him at WGC. He would putt first, then go range as in the video. Then putt again last before teeing off.

@nikegolf: Set records. Then break them.

Lot of paint jobs on tour, thought I read the shaft is still a kuro cage?

Agreed could be anything under that paint , I believed the reporting more when there was *prototype*

Till someone definitely says; nascar races taurus on Sunday , tiger is monogamous, and rory with Zeus like driver speed is sporting an off the rack s+.

Then again it could be one I've never frequency that shaft
