The premise of this new Nike commercial that “No Cup Is Safe” is a fantastic idea. There is a bit of a Bird vs. Jordan feel to it.
This weekend Rory McIlroy showed off his golf skills at the Honda Classic, and is now the world's number one golfer. So what's next for Rory?

Northern Ireland's Rory McIlroy had his sights set on the top spot in the golf world. That will have to wait. A great run by the USA's Hunter Mahan culminating with a 2 and 1 victory over the young gun slinger McIlroy put a hold on his hope to land at the top spot in all the world...
Rory McIlroy not only won the U.S. Open at Congressional yesterday but he made the world stand up and take notice.
What McIlroy did was quite impressive: he set tourney records for score under par at -16 and lowest final score of 268. He finished 8 shots better than 2nd place finisher Jason Day.
A Tiger-esque performance no doubt.

Rory McIlroy won the 2011 U.S. Open on Sunday at 17 strokes under par. It was a week-long virtuoso performance bolstered by the fact that just two months ago McIlroy blew a four stroke lead in the final round of the Masters. The epic disaster that was the Irishman’s final round at Augusta had the golf world wondering if he would ever recover. He did. Spectacularly.
