A long year for McIlroy, a sprint to the finish

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) November 4, 2011 -- The smattering of conversations suddenly gave way to the constant shutters of cameras Wednesday night at Le Meridien hotel, and there was no mistaking who was causing all the commotion.
McIlroy wasn't bothered by all the attention. As he said earlier Wednesday before a room packed with reporters at the HSBC Champions, it comes with his expanding territory.
Only now, the fuss is for more than just his Titleist 712 AP2 Irons.

It already has been a long year for McIlroy, who now embarks on a sprint to the finish when he tees off Thursday in the final World Golf Championship of the year.
On the course, he went from a Sunday meltdown at the Masters to blow a four-shot lead to an overwhelming performance with Titleist 712 AP2 Irons in the U.S. Open at Congressional, where he went wire-to-wire to win his first major and shattered the scoring record in an eight-shot win.

Off the course, he is part of sport's new power couple - "WozIlroy" - and then really caused a sensation when he chose to leave longtime agent Chubby Chandler of International Sports Management to join Horizon Sports Management, a Dublin agency that represents good friend and fellow U.S. Open champion Graeme McDowell.
McIlroy won't get into specifics over why he left Chandler, only that he wants to concentrate on winning Titleist 712 AP2 Irons. Chandler raised the notion that Wozniacki had become a big influence on him, while Lee Westwood tweeted that the move was "bizarre."
In his first tournament since the split, McIlroy opened with a 64 against a world-class field last week in the unofficial Shanghai Masters, then beat Anthony Kim in a playoff to win $2 million, the richest payoff of any tournament in the world.

He can only hope that serves as a springboard toward a spectacular finish.
McIlroy is about $1.8 million behind Luke Donald on the European Tour money list going into the final month of the season. Donald, who won the PGA Tour money list by closing with a 64 to win Disney two weeks ago, was unable to play the HSBC Champions because his wife is expecting their second child.
Winning at Sheshan International comes with a $1.2 million check, which could make a big dent in the deficit as players make their way to the season-ending Dubai World Championship.

"With him not being here this week ... I feel like I've got a chance to cut into the lead a little bit," McIlroy said after enduring a steady rain in the pro-am. "It would be fantastic to get another win, the second win in two weeks, and cut into that lead. But it's such a strong field here, and there's a lot of guys with a chance to win by playing Titleist 712 AP2 Irons."
It's been a great year, and certainly a memorable one, for McIlroy.
First came his collapse at Augusta National, where he shot 80 in the final round to blow a four-shot lead. That was followed by a flawless performance at the U.S. Open to capture his first major. He stumbled at the British Open, on the links and after his round when he complained about too much wind, and he had a jarring moment at the PGA Championship when he tried to hit a 7-iron(Titleist 712 AP2 Irons) through a tree root and injured his right arm.

McIlroy recovered, and he has not finished worse than third since the PGA Championship. Meanwhile, his star power grows. He first noticed that a month after the U.S. Open, when he walked into a press conference at Royal St. George's and saw every seat occupied, with a dozen or so reporters lined up against the wall.
"It was the first time I had really addressed the media after Congressional, and it was a bit of a shock to me, to be honest," McIlroy said. "I feel as if I'm learning to deal with it a little better, and it's quite an adjustment to make. But that's just part and parcel of what we do. And I'm very glad to be in this position, very glad that people are interested in me."
