How good is Rory Mcilroy's performance at the 2011 US Open at Congressional. The guy swings it so good and although already a star of the game, is undoubtedly going to collect a number of major championships. This US Open weekend could be huge for Rory Mcilroy mentally following his final round collapse at the US Masters earlier in the year. I am sure he will have learnt from that and will approach the weekend still in a positive mind set. 
Technically superb, Rory Mcilroy's swing is great to watch and if he can maintain his rhythm and not let the adrenalin get the better of him he may well stretch his lead over the weekend. The fast release and flow through the ball is great to watch and the athleticism and balance of the whole movement shows that swing wise he 'has it'.One bad shot that you may want to look out for is when he can turn the ball over left from too straight a starting line. This causes his natural draw to to become increased to a problem hook , mainly due to getting too quick through the release of his hands through the swing. This was seen on 18 yesterday leading to his first and only dropped shots of the tournament.
The biggest challenge to Rory will be Y.E Yang, one of very few who has taken down the Tiger in a final round showdown from a trailing position.
Enjoy the rest of the US Open coverage.
