Brilliant win for Rory McIlroy

IT was good to see Rory McIlroy overcome his disastrous last round at this year’s Masters and win The US Open by eight shots.

Earlier in the year it had been painful watching McIlroy’s back nine at Augusta as he had one hand on the trophy.

But the 22-year-old led the US Open from the beginning to the end and became the youngest winner of a US Open since Bobby Jones, 21, in 1923.

Surely the Northern Irish golfer will now go on and win more majors.

With McIlroy so far ahead the rest of the field were playing for second place.

Meanwhile Coldplay, in my opinion, outshone U2 at this year’s Glastonbury.

Their set seemed to be more powerful than U2’s and the crowd seemed to enjoy it more.

You forget how many great songs Coldplay have and their rendition of Clocks was my favourite.

U2 even sang Yellow – one of Coldplay’s songs - during their set.

Andy Murray has reached the second week of Wimbledon, but I don’t think he can go all the way this year.

First he will have a tough test on Monday against Richard Gasquet in the last 16.

And if he gets to the semi-final he could have to play Rafael Nadal who he has a poor record against at Wimbledon.
