  ray keene: rory o' kelly like alan trangmar was another strong dulwich college and cambridge university player-one might also mention ht jones, ronald johannes and r r smith,who were part of this group. rory competed in the british championship and numbered amongst his victims 10 times british champion dr jonathan penrose.
Jun-19-11  crazybird: Rory leads a major by a wide margin once more going into the last 18. Is he the heir apparent to Tiger?
Jun-19-11  crazybird: Rory.. leads by 10 through 4 holes in the final round at US open. Shades of Tiger @ '97 Masters when he won by 12 strokes at a similar age
Jun-19-11  DanielBryant: I can't check sports sites right now because I'm watching a baseball game recorded and it would ruin the score, but I heard he nearly got a hole in one. Unbelievable. I don't know how one can't be pulling for him right now.
Jun-19-11  BobCrisp: Heard <Rafa Nadal> on TV today saying that he'd be watching and cheering <Rory> on. Said the two met last year and that he was a very nice guy.

If <Gillette> need replacements for <Tiger> and <Roger>....
