Rory the Duck

[The Recreational Golfer]

Does anybody know if there is a connection between Rory and the University of Oregon? Maybe this is a shirt Wyndham Clark gave him.

I took the 2 minutes out of my day and Googled it for you. No affiliation outside of him being a prominent Nike athlete and the Ducks (marquee Nike school. The whole Phil Knight connection) winning their 1st ever national championship in either men’s or women’s golf.

Anyway, the picture is dated.  Rory has a lot of gray hair now.

Exactly. It's from 2016.

And it represented the number of majors he'd won in 2016, nothing to do with Oregon.  He's been able to keep wearing the same pullover year after year!  

 

Low hanging fruit day.

 

Love Rory by the way!

Actually, he once played in charity event with Dan Fouts many years ago.  

 

Connection made.

McIlory graduated magna cum laude with a degree in History of Art from the University of Oregon.

So Rory is an artist like Bryson is a scientist!

McIlroy was inspired to go to Oregon because he wanted to follow in the footsteps of former Ducks alumni Wyndham Clark.
