Has another event in America this week I think, which is why he isn't making it back down to Offally for a few weeks according to OTB am.

United States:                26 Players Winning 52 Majors

Ireland:                             5 Players Winning 10 Majors

Australia:                          4 Players Winning 4 Majors

England:                           2 Players Winning 2 Majors

South Africa:                    2 Players Winning 2 Majors

Fiji:                                   1 Player Winning 1 Major

Spain                               1 Player Winning 1 Major

Scotland                          1 Player Winning 1 Major

Argentina                         1 Player Winning 1 Major

Canada                            1 Player Winning 1 Major

Korea                               1 Player Winning 1 Major

Sweden                           1 Player Winning 1 Major

Italy                                  1 Player Winning 1 Major


England have really under achieved  -

Westwood (something like 20 top 10 finishes in a major)
Donald (former No1)
Casey
Poulter

If you compare them to
Harrington -3
Clarke -1
McDowell -1 
Lowry -1

All our top players have won a major.
Westwood especially has been very unlucky not to win a major. He certainly was good enough to win a few.

Ah Rory is an exceptional talent. He is way better than everyone on the list above.
He will end up with more majors than anybody else in Europe.
Faldo has 6. Rory should get to that number.

McIlroy has four majors and hopefully he doesn’t add to that number.

Adare Manor in Ireland is set to be confirmed as the host course for the 2026 Ryder Cup today.

A deal struck between the Irish government and European Tour organisers will bring the biennial tournament between Europe and the USA to Limerick.

Double Maxim without doubt the greatest drink in the world

Rory leading in the FedEx St Jude Invitational in Memphis after a 62 in R3 :  -12
Koepka is one behind after a 64.
Be good to see them go head to head in the last group.
Both have four majors.

If your wondering why so many top players are here just after the open, the prize money is very similar but there is no cut.
Shane got $1.9M,  the winner here gets $1.7M.

Edit:
Koepka wins comfortably with a 5 under par 65.
Rory shot 1 over
