Charl and Rory - click for larger image

I’m more of a Rory McIlroy fan now than perhaps if he would have won the Masters. His post round interviews were classy and considerate unlike what some other players’ interviews were, according to some. He has handled the whole thing in an honorable and fun way.

Here’s a cool shot from Rory’s twitter of him and Masters champ Charl Schwarzel on a plane to Malaysia.

“Flying to Malaysia with Charl! Glad one of us has a green jacket on!!!” ~Rory McIlroy

Yes Tony he is a wonderful young guy. Many said that ‘good old fashioned sportsmen’ died out around the mid 70’s, I would refute that and point to Rory McIlroy as a example of that era of courtesy in the 21st century.
