Class golfer but by Christmas a playing partner he'd have a 5 iron round his neck by the 3rd tee

yes, but just not in the last few months.
As McGinley always says he's a streak player, he's gonna have bad periods but then he'll come back and win two or three tournaments in a row. Been screwed with injuries this year.

Agreed for all he is superb, he takes a lot of the enjoyment out of it for me. Backs off from so many shots and putts.
Yes he's won 4 majors and he's not 30 yet. To give you a comparison Faldo hadn't won any at the same point in his career and he's probably considered the best ever golfer from these shores. Unfortunately I think Rory will struggle with injury due to the huge stress he puts his body under.

God knows how he's still up the rankings, every time I've put money on him he's been shite, he's got no consistency, either terrible or tremendous, no middle ground!

Rory is out of form, well known he is trying to get his game back together. He will be back though, sure of that.

Are you watching in the year 2001?

puts it in perspective, Faldo was a journeyman pro for years.
McIlroy is different class, if on his game can just blow the rest of the field away.

So they aren't big names?

In terms of past achievements they are but they won't be contending this year so their price is pretty irrelevant.

There's always a big name from the past in the frame at some point, or another massive outsider, it's picking which one is the bugger!
Is the weather forecast due to be shite all day?

High chance of rain this morning and this afternoon. Possible gap late morning early pm. Winds expected to get up to 25mph.
Our lass is away for the weekend so I've got games myself booked in for Saturday and Sunday morning with @Voice of fair play so hopefully the weather behaves itself up this way
indeed... he has only birdied 5 of the last 7

This. A few posts bumped. If he can post a good score today and some of the later starters go out in the bad weather the leaderboard could get interesting
Hardly, he was a bit of a prodigy who had a reputation for blowing the chances he had in the Majors. One of the youngest ever Ryder cup players and 3rd on the Order of Merit when he was only 21.
He went away and worked on his technique for a year or two and came back a Major winner.
