Big day for the Europeans today in the Ryder Cup
If they can win today’s series I can’t see them being beaten
If Rory plays with Shane Lowry this afternoon in the fourballs I hope he tees off first He is used to leading and I think it could make a difference in their performance

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

True resilience from a great competitor and now Europes first Grand Slam Champion What an honest effort from Rory McIlroy A true inspiration for everyone young and old golfers or not who be raising a glass to him in celebration

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

@McIlroyRory is one of the most honest and toughest competitors Ireland has ever produced Reflecting back on his season he must recognise the mental mistakes made when it mattered most Going forward I hope he can learn to accept a second opinion before many of these key moments

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

What a real privilege to watch @McIlroyRory gamely trying to win his second Irish Open this week
On undoubtedly his toughest golf test of the year at Royal Co Down his shotmakings skills were off the charts and good times can only be around the corner if he stays true to himself

@HHIDavidson I think his profile possibly defecting would have a huge impact on a rudderless PGATour that has credibility issues with its top players That said I think and I hope his focus is solely on becoming a Grand Slam Champion

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

Crazy situation developing LIV withdraw their OWGR review application Expect a huge effort from LIV to secure McIlroys services He alone can change this narrative
A LIV OWGR solution based on weight of participating field and players getting 3 quarters of normal OWGR points?

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

@AlistairBelford I would hope not but the PGATour is showing no leadership and has trust issues with the top players
I think all the top players are reviewing likely outcomes Rory meds to stay focused on becoming a Grand Slam Champion

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

Dunlaps win is a Classic example of how spectacularly wrong the PGA Tours decision is to bow to current superstars by pursuing even more money for them over providing greater platforms for sporting talents who will always emerge in professional sports if afforded opportunities

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

IMO the PGATOUR can not be allowed to accept a commercial partnership with a country that openly flouts International and Human Rights Laws The PGATour must stand for something other than hungry commercialism
If the individual players want to court that space fine - not the Tour

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

The PGA Tours overreaction to the perceived threat of LIV Golf has seen them abandon their charitable status which was a huge tax carrot for Sponsors They have abandoned other 50 year relationships to get into bed with an dubious unproven partner Players win / Tour loses big time

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

Hard not to lose a lot of respect for the Professional Golf Tours at the moment They have over reacted to player power and forgot all about their long-standing relationships with sponsors broadcasters venues Profile players will win today Vast majority will lose big going forward

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]

@McIlroyRory Thank you Rory for making such sense on the ball roll back. You are refreshingly honest in all your opinions especially as it protects some of the greatest landlocked competitive courses in the world Shot making a must in the professional game Stay true to yourself

[john mchenry @MchenryJohn]
