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.

Who checks cinema seats?
I’M sure no-one checks the tickets of those people who sit in the more expensive seats in the cinema.
How do they know who sits there?
There is a marked difference in price between a standard seat and a luxury one.
Yet, when you go to the cinema, the luxury seats are always full, but I have never seen anybody check tickets inside a screening at the cinema.
Haven’t you noticed also if you arrive late the last seats are always in the middle of a row and that you have to disturb half the audience to get the free spaces. People seem to like sitting on the end of rows.
Meanwhile, where are the blockbuster movies this Summer? Is it too early? When I was younger there used to be a handful of blockbusters every Summer. Massive films used to be released about this time, such as Jurassic Park.
The new Harry Potter sequel is out next month, but it would be good if there were some big original films released.
This week sees the US Open being staged from June 16-19 at the Congressional Country club at Bethesda, Maryland.
The last time the course held a major was in 1997, when Ernie Els took the tournament.
Defending the title this year will be Graeme McDowell who was the winner last year at Pebble Beach.
McDowell’s form has not been as good this year, and he missed the cut at Augusta and also shot an 81 at the Welsh Open.
Tiger Woods won’t be playing.
