Rory McIlroy REACTS to winning the Irish Open! 🚨

Right. Well, let’s hear for a new champion. The second time Rory Maroy has won the Amjun Irish Open. Rory, um, nine years ago, you won your first area Open here at the K Club. Today, you just won your second. Try and describe the emotions if you can right now. Yeah. Um, yeah. Look, I just I feel um just so lucky that I get to do this. I get to do this in front of these people. Um the support has been absolutely amazing all week and um you know I thought uh you know I thought it was going to be a nice homecoming obviously coming home with a green jacket and all that but uh this has been absolutely incredible. This has exceeded all of my expectations and um just so so happy I could play play the way I did um this week for all of them and and get the win. Didn’t get this at Augusta, did you? No, I didn’t. I didn’t. This was This is uh hopefully be getting a bit of it in a few weeks time at the RDER Cup. But uh this is absolutely incredible. I I love coming home. I love playing in this atmosphere. And uh yeah, these are you know you know you know moments like this. This is these are the things you’re going to remember um you know well after your career is over. And you know this is a really special day. I could ask you about the P on 13. I could ask you about the TA on 15 that stayed dry. the putt on 18 in regulation. In your career, have you ever felt a moment like that? Uh, I don’t think so. You know, I I had a putt on the last green last year at RCD to force a playoff with Raasmus. Um, and it just missed on the on the high side. So, felt like it was a little bit of uh it was a little bit of a redemption. Um, and I hit it and I I wanted to just be aggressive with it and um, but like such a such a cool moment, such a cool feeling for that to go in and um, you know, that gave me a chance in the playoff and the playoff the way the 18th was playing today. It just felt like, you know, it was a case of who was going to blink first and, you know, Wackom hit, you know, hit a a per second shot in on that playoff hole and, you know, that opened the door for me and, um, yeah, just so happy to be able to win my second Irish Open. Talk about the crowd once again cuz I saw you there talking like looking to the crowd there. I saw you look back at them running down the fair. How did that make you feel? There’s some running towards this way. It’s inc. You know, I look I again I feel very fortunate because there’s there’s probably very few golfers in in the world that get the support that um I get when I go home. Um you know, maybe John Ram in Spain. Um you know, there’s there’s maybe a few others, but uh this is this is absolutely incredible. I I don’t take it for granted. Um, you know, I I feel very grateful and and very lucky that I get to do this and um, you know, can’t wait to um can’t wait to celebrate tonight. You said to me at the start of the week that you felt this year was almost complete already, apart from the Rder Cup which is coming up. This week now, how much more complete and fulfilling does it feel? It does. cuz I mean to you know to do what I did earlier in the year and then to come home and and win my national open um that’s a you know no matter what happens for the rest of the year that’s a that’s a pretty cool year 2025 is going to go down as um you know one of the one of the best if not the best in my career and but you know as I said we’re not finished yet I’ve got a big week next week at Wentworth uh and then obviously every everyone’s looking forward to the RDER Cup but um I’m just so happy my game’s in good shape I feel like I’m playing well. Um, you know, and that that excites me for for what’s coming up. Rory, man, congratulations on Irish Open win number two. I think you might be celebrating for quite a long time tonight. Thanks very much, Rory. Thanks so much. Thank you. Thank you. Yeah, congratulations. Spine tingling scenes. I’m reminded of Tiger Woods the 2018 Tour Championships and the crowd following him. Well, Rory Maroy 2025 Amjen Irish Open Championship. What a scene. What memories, what a performance.
