Despite letting down favourite backers at the Open, Rory remains the man to beat. McIlroy was the first to admit he hasn't yet got the game to win in very bad British weather, of which there is no danger in Georgia during the middle of August. Before Royal St George's, McIlroy had traded below [4.0] at some stage of the previous four majors, and his performance to win the US Open at Congressional is a contender for the greatest ever. He is a much better player than when missing the play-off by a shot in last year's PGA. As arguably the best iron player in the world, Atlantic Athletic Club should suit his particular talents.
