Jose Maria Olazabal comments on Rory McIlroy’s game
The European captain for this year’s Ryder Cup, Jose Maria Olazabal is a very busy man with a big responsibility of making the team for the Cup. Olazabal needs the best possible team for the Cup and Rory McIlroy is a very important asset for his team.
McIlroy is just 23 years old right now but still he has proven to be one of the best. Recently, he had managed to be on the top spot in the official golf ranking and still is on the top.
The youngster will be playing a very important role in the Olazabal side for the Ryder Cup.
In an interview Jose Maria Olazabal said, “Rory's performance at (the PGA on) Kiawah Island was outstanding. His focus and passion are very special. It is great to see a young man of his age with two majors under his belt and such a strong mind. If he continues
his work ethic and his love for the game he will achieve more major victories”.
McIlroy was being criticized for his game and out of nowhere he bagged the last major of the year, the U.S. PGA Championship. This was the second major triumph of the Irishman’s career.
Olazabal believes that there are many wins to come for the youngster and in future he is going to bag many more trophies.
McIlroy had an easy win at the Championship. He went on the top on the third day and from that point on never looked back.
Olazabal is working under pressure as he has to finalize the team. At this moment, he has even declined to confirm that if he McIlroy would be pairing with fellow countryman Graeme McDowell or not.
At this time he is happy to see the 23-year-old in his side in such great form. He would have a vital role in the team.
“It is too early to say anything about pairings yet,” said the 46-year-old Spaniard. “When we are all in the team room we will do our pairings and have our conversations”.
“One thing's for sure though and that is Rory's passion and emotions will be part of the team spirit for sure,” added Olazabal.
