Of course, he will not take the chance of missing The Players Championship next year once again after all the furor surrounding his absence in the event of last year. After the finishing the event with a four over score, Rory McIlroy stated that he will be back and promised to put on a better show next time around, adding that he somehow needed to learn how to get a hang of the course. He admitted that the course had something in it which he couldn’t get the hang of, in spite of making three appearances already.

While speaking, he noticed the name of Zach Johnson on top of the leader board, with a full twelve shots ahead of the Irishman and McIlroy seemed to be perplexed by it. This is the first time he has failed to make the cut in over a year and he is not too happy about it.

Rory McIlroy added that having hit the same shots that qualified him for the cut at the Quail Hollow, it is almost shocking that he had to miss the cut here.

Luke Donald had a brilliant run of five birdies in the very first eleven holes and this moved the former world number one golfer into serious contention for the tournament. He then secured his position in the tournament with a brilliant seven successive pars to ensure that he finished a great sixteenth top ten finish in his last twenty two events.

Luke Donald hit a beautiful approach shot on the very first hole of the play off with a good seven iron from the rough and then went on to hole the putt which ensured his victory. Robert Garrigus also looked like a prospect for winning the tournament as he opened with a good birdie but then he went on to miss the putt which dashed his chances of winning the tournament.

This victory of Luke Donald was the third European victory in a single row after Rory Mcilroy won at the very important Honda Classic and Justin Rose won at the Cadillac Championship. This will prove to be a huge morale booster for Donald as he gears up for the very important Masters. He said that he feels that he has achieved a lot in his golf career and this win is just the right preparation he needs as he now has two weeks off before he goes to Augusta.

He said that although it feels great to be the number golf player again but it is a nervous prospect too. Though he admits that getting right to the top was a much more nervous affair as he was not concentration on reclaiming his lost position much from Rory Mcilroy. He was only concentrating on winning the tournament and thankfully for him everything worked out extremely well.

Rory Mcilroy was very quick to praise Luke Donald, his Ryder Cup partner. He came on twitter and publicly congratulated him and also admitted the fact that he really enjoyed his time as the world number one – and at the very least it would be on Rory Mcilroy’s statistics page for ever, for him to look back on!

“The Rory McIlroy Song” has been written by the three Corrigan brothers, Gerard, Donncha and Brian and have also added their own tune to it to mark the crowing of their very own Rory McIlroy as the number one golfer in the world after the 22 year old won the Honda Classic to stake his claim to the top position in golf, displacing Englishman Luke Donald. This has made the feeling all the more special for the Irish folk, who still harbor feelings of hatred for the English who dominated them for centuries in the name of the Queen.

McIlroy, who was already a legend in his native land after winning his first Major, the US Open in 2011 will be sung this song personally by the Corrigan Brothers when he gets home. According to Gerard, Rory has achieved an amazing milestone and he deserves this song to mark his achievement.

He also added that the feat that Rory McIlroy has achieved is remarkable, considering the fact that he hails from a country that is much deprived and in the shadows of the English and the Irish all the time and this success has brought Northern Ireland out of the shade and straight into the limelight.

Furthermore, players, critics and fans alike are all in favor of the 22 year old British golfer becoming the number one golfer in the world, believing that he will be the one to lead golf out of the many controversies that the game has managed to embroil itself into. Furthermore, they believe that Rory McIlroy will be even more popular as the world number one than Tiger Woods, who was at one time, the crowd favorite but his off field controversies have seen him suffer a huge fall from grace in recent years.

Moreover, his recent form has also not been up to the standards that he had set for himself. McIlroy, who has been dubbed as the Boy Wonder by golfing fans received a rousing ovation by the fans present at the final of the Match Play Championship and Hunter Mahan, his opponent also believes that the British player he played against almost three years back is now close to becoming the finished product, ready to rule the world for the next decade at least.

But Rory McIlroy is not ready to claim the top spot right now, according to the man himself as he wants to gain more experience before he begins his reign as the king of the golfing world.

Rory confirmed his participation from the Hong Kong Open and said that to end all the speculation on whether or not he would be playing the Irish Open he was happy to announce that he would indeed take part in the tournament.

McIlroy went on to add that for him the Irish Open was, and would continue to be one of the most important events on the global golf calendar. It was their national open and thus obviously a title that he would love to win at some stage of his career.

Rory McIlroy stressed on the fact that the recent high of Irish Golf meant that it was a big responsibility for them to put on a good show, not just for the home fans, but also for the audiences watching worldwide.

He further added that there has been a lot of buzz and speculation about his joining the PGA tour, but for him it was not really much of a drastic change from the schedules he had followed in the last few seasons, but what it meant was that he would just be adding a few more events to his American schedule in the coming year.
