More From Rory McIlroy

It's A Great Feeling To Know That I've Played The Best Golf Throughout The Season Of Any Of The Guys For The Second Time In Three Years, It's Really Nice.

The Fact Is, I've Always Felt More British Than Irish. Maybe It Was The Way I Was Brought Up, I Don't Know, But I Have Always Felt More Of A Connection With The U.k. Than With Ireland.

I've Had Support From All Sides, From People Who Call Themselves Irish, From Northern Irish, To The Whole Of The Uk, To People In America, And It Would Be Terrible For Me To Segregate Myself From One Of Those Groups That Support Me So Much.

This Is The Great Thing About Northern Ireland. I Walk Down The Street And People Stop Me And Say Things Like, 'i Know You. You're That Wee Golfer, Aren't You?' I Say, 'yeah, That's Me.' They Say, 'keep It Up, Wee Man.' It's Very Funny And That's Why I Want To Stay Here As Long As Possible.

I Am A Proud Product Of Irish Golf And The Golfing Union Of Ireland And Am Hugely Honoured To Have Come From Very Rich Irish Sporting Roots I Am Also A Proud Ulsterman Who Grew Up In Northern Ireland. That Is My Background And Always Will Be.
