Monday morning the observer: USA open edition * I do not recall a non-American athlete to get a huge love-in reception as Rory McIlroy has made the past weekend in Congress. I think each person-players include-like man from Northern Ireland to win this weekend. As he walked along the come to life, he was happy. They chanted his name and applauded their miraculous performance. * I was lucky enough to be able to make a sit down interview with McIlroy yesterday evening after the victory and I first thought as he sat in the Chair was that the child was completely exhausted. The second was how impressive it was grounded. The answers to my questions were thoughtful, insightful and honest. As someone who has interviewed, Oh, about a thousand golfers over the past 25 years, this was one of the best. His answer to my question about how his trip to Haiti impacted the world, and high performance is amazing. You can see the interview with tsn .ca. * for the interview, McIlroy took the trophy together. For such a historic event, do you think they may have polished the baby. It appeared that it had been left in the rain. * I am not usually consider a excellent performance means the start of the new era, as some suggest this morning, but I believe that this is the first of many majors for McIlroy. There is truly something special is happening here. Oh, and for the record, I believe that this will have a healthy Tiger Woods kicked ass this week too. * I think I counted 12 different scoring McIlroy broke records this week. It seemed to me to be around 100. Yes, the course was soft due to rain and so ended the second most under par rounds of history US open, but when you win the best players in the world by eight shots, do something, and when you wipe 111 years scoring records, actually do something. * For the record, Jason Day finish at eight under would have won or tied for the lead in all but two US opens. It is also the lowest mark for a runner-up. And now has the second-place finishes in both the US open and the masters this year. * A solid performance by Adam Hadwin last week netted the player CanTour the biggest payday of his career: $ 41,154. Prior to this, the biggest check was for $ 24,000 for victory on the Canadian Tour. She told me after the final round that has absolutely no doubt that he has the game to compete on the PGA Tour and that will be there at some point. Other Canadians in the field, Wes Heffernan, collected a nice $ 16,539. * by the way, in case you missed this two Hadwin earned Heffernan and passes in the second stage of qualifying School, making the cut here this week. This is almost as big a cheque!
