Rory McIlroy's second major victory at the USPGA at Kiawah Island is further confirmation of his enormous golfing talent and a clear signal that he has the potential to become one of the greats of the game.

Irish golf is going through an amazing period of success and Rory is at the vanguard of that charge.

I want to congratulate him on behalf of the Irish people following his success in winning the USPGA and also to recognise his outstanding golfing talent which will no doubt see him achieve many more successes in the future.
