Rory & Rickie…”Back In the Day”

by Jeff Skinner

Rory McIlroy has a six shot lead over Rickie Fowler at the Open Championship and the two will share the day together tomorrow in the final group.

It would have been a bit more interesting if Rory hadn’t unleashed his pet eagle over the last few holes today. But the two very popular and still very young players should have plenty of fun together.

The two do have a bit of history together. They faced off back in 2007 in the Walker Cup at Royal County Down. The U.S. took the competition 12½ to 11½ with Rickie and Billy Horschel defeating Rory and Jonathan Caldwell in a foursomes match.

Here’s a blast from the past. Both have since spent many days in the gym and at least a few at the barber since then.  What do you think..maybe the teams could have used a tailor.
