I think it's just the case of a 21 year old facing pressure he's never felt before. Good experience for him. I was hoping Tiger would come back to win, what a front nine he had. Just incredible. Great tournament!

Has anybody ever birdied 15-18 to take the title? Phenomenal!

I hope McIlroy can work on the mental game because he has all the skilz to be a force for years to come....but talent does not always equal success.

I'm not saying I'm a genius, but I might just be one.

I really felt horrible for him today. He'll be fine, though. He's lucky he's young, kids are unflappable.
