Tory will go down in history as one of the best golfers in the world. . And he came from a very poor home, unlike most pro golfers. His dad was the bartender at the country club and his mom was a cleaning woman who worked extra hours so they could afford golf lessons for their talented son,

Great admirer of Rory. My maternal ancestors were from North Ireland too. With no education or money, but lots of talent and grit.

Yes Rory did not come out of the country club set and he has made it to the top of the golf world on his talent and hard work. He has stood with the
PGA and turned down the LIV millions. I was at the tournament Saturday and when Rory came off the tenth green on his way to 11 tee, he stopped to greet a wheelchair-bound kid and gave him a glove and a ball. That was a very nice gesture in the middle of a competitive round. IMHO, he’s a good guy and is only interested in what’s best for the game. Yes he skipped the presser yesterday but that was a crushing and very public failure. Is he not entitled to a bit of pique?!
