This is the first and hopefully last time a golfer has done the ‘raise the roof’ thing. The jubilation in the gallery was incredible all the same. Bottled water looks like it was being thrown everywhere.

Padraig Harrington Wants Rory McIlroy To Declare For Britain… So He Can Go To The Olympics
P-Harry sat down with Gary Murphy of Setanta and revealed his thoughts on Rory McIlroy’s Olympics ambitions. An age-old debate at this stage – GB or Ireland? – and it seems as if Harrington is pushing McIlroy to don the Union Jack. The reason why? So he can play at the Olympics. Very patriotic.
One problem with that argument, Padraig: you’re giving Britian a medal while you and Shane Lowry finish somewhere between Sri Lanka and Denmark.
Holly Sweeney’s Interview With Brendan O’Connor Was Awkward
We watch this crap so you don’t have to. Mind you, all the blame rests with O’Connor, possibly the worst television personality in Europe. If you were wondering how Sweeney’s relationship with Rory McIlory came unglued, follow the link above. Interesting to learn that McIlory had an old crush on Wozniacki all the same.

2012 Irish Open To Be Played At Portrush
It’ll be confirmed shortly that Portrush will host the 2012 Irish Open, a year earlier than planned. Portrush pub club pro Darren Clarke will be delighted to see you.
Brian Keogh of Irish Golf Desk explains some of the issues behind the switch. Apparently, the Northern Ireland major winners were throwing their weight around:
Carton House in Co Kildare was considered by many to be the front runner…However, with McIlroy and Portrush residents Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell all now major winners, it is believed that the tour and the Northern Ireland government are keen to ride that momentum and bring forward plans to take the Irish Open back to Ulster for the first time since 1953.
McIlroy and McDowell have let it be known that while they enjoyed the atmosphere at Killarney, they were not huge fans of the golf course.
