Quite possibly the game’s next truly great player after his astonishing record-breaking US Open triumph at Congressional CC in June. McIlroy’s eight-shot demolition of the field evoked comparisons with Tiger Woods’ watershed win at the 1997 Masters, as the 22-year-old Northern Irishman bettered nearly all of Woods’ scoring records.
He became the youngest US Open champion since Bobby Jones (21) in 1923. The 2007 Alfred Dunhill Links Championship was just the second tournament McIlroy played as a professional – where he finished third – thereby earning enough money to bypass the Qualifying School and launch his career. This is his fifth consecutive Championship appearance. - http://www.alfreddunhilllinks.com/
