DVD Description
Relive Rory’s Capitol Success. The 2011 U.S. Open will forever be remembered as the time Rory McIlroy tore apart the entire field, as well as the record books, at Congressional, Maryland. The 22-year-old from Holywood, Northern Ireland, set or tied twelve records on his way to a stunning victory, posting the lowest total in U.S. Open history with his score of 268, an astonishing 16 under par. His nearest challenger, Jason Day, finished an incredible eight shots adrift.
Following his final round meltdown at Augusta just two months previously, Rory showed he bore no scars from the Masters as he set the pace for the rest to follow. After carding a six under first round score of 65 to secure the largest first round lead since 1976, some majestic – and at times thrilling – stroke play over the next 36 holes saw McIlroy head into the final round an amazing eight shots clear.
This time McIlroy made sure history would not repeat itself by carding an assured level par score of 72 to secure his first Major win, with his Dad Gerry watching from the sidelines on Father’s Day. Rory’s victory marked the end a spectacular four days of near-perfect golf to ensure that the U.S. Open trophy once again made its way back to Ireland.
• The 2011 U.S. Open will go down in history as the time Rory McIlroy sealed his first win in a Major.
• The incredibly popular Irishman blew his opposition away and tore up the course on his way to a stunning victory.
• Includes highlights of all four days and all the moments that will live long in the memory.

This is an excellent dvd covering a magnificent victory by Rory McIlroy. Understandably, there isnt much that can go wrong with this sort of subject but the US coverage is incredibly banal and ruins the spectacle. The dreadful background music ruins the coverage whilst the commentary, such as 'This is a do-able shot' when showing McIlroy in the bunker tarnish an enjoyable watch. Compared to the excellent commentary which is on the Open Championship dvd's, the US Open equivalents are particularly amateur.
If you play golf, this dvd is a must. A look into the future of the game. After a tough time at the Masters Rory puts all the doubters at rest. A stunning display of the game...awsome.

I'd been waiting for this for some time, actually to be able to see Rory in action on the TV, rather than follow him on radio and by the internet text commentary (with just occasional pix and clips).
Well worth the wait, well selected and compiled highlights which also does justice to the (inconsistently) fine play by several other competitors and was genuinely moving as it came to the conclusion.
