few people are able to keep up with a fully confident Rory mroy as one top player found out the hard way at the 2011 US Open when Adam Scott tipped Padre Harrington to win the 2011 US Open The Dubliner was filled with confidence that was until 21-year-old Rory mroy poured cold water over his hopes Harrington is no stranger to mroy having competed against him in numerous majors and tournaments not long before the action started at the Congress naal Country Club Harrington had won the 2008 PGA Championship and the open his preparation and training was on point and after dismantling Scott in a practice round the latter tipped the Irishman to win the whole major however not only did Harrington fall short of claiming The clarit Jug but he was outright dominated by the Relentless mroy it’s a moment which has stayed with him perhaps due to the fact that mroy is 18 years hering Jr reflecting on the experience during an appearance on the cookie jar golf podcast Harrington said Rory broke me in 2011 he broke everybody but I was the best player that’s what I believed so I’ve gone into Congressional I played a practice round with Adam Scott on Wednesday he Scott came in and did an interview and told everybody to go home he says you might as well go home padrick Harrington is winning this I am in my head I am the best player I’ve won three Majors just recently I’m in great form I prepared right I go into this tournament and Rory does something that I can’t compete with wipes the floor like we’re all the same he’s just blown us all away mroy delivered stunning rounds of 65 66 68 and 69 that secured his victory with ease he finished eight shots ahead of nearest rival Jason day and melroy’s aggregate score of 268 still stands as a record to this day
