McIlroy 'immensely proud' of himself

  • Intro:

    Rory McIlroy reflects on winning his third major title and first (British) Open Championship at Royal Liverpool Golf Club, Hoylake, UK on Sunday (July 20th).

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy, Winner of the 2014 Open Championship:

    "It feels absolutely incredible. It's sort of cool that they put your name on there even before you get it, so that was a nice little touch. But… yes, it's been an incredible week. I'm happy I gave myself enough of a cushion today because there were a lot of guys coming at me, especially Sergio (Garcia) and Rickie (Fowler). Just to be sitting here and looking at this thing (the Claret Jug) and having my name on it, it's a great feeling and it obviously hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm going to enjoy it and let it sink in tonight, in the company of my friends and family."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy, Winner of the 2014 Open Championship:

    "I'm immensely proud of myself. To sit here at 25 years of age and win my third major championship and be three-quarters of the way to a career grand slam it's… yes I mean I, I never dreamed of being at this point of my career so quickly."

    SOUNDBITE: (English) Rory McIlroy, Winner of the 2014 Open Championship (asked what he will put in the Claret Jug):

    "It could be everything or anything in this thing. I'm not to sure. I've got a few friends with me that could fill it with a few things, but…. I mean, seeing as it's the Claret Jug I think it's only right to fill it with red wine first and good red wine as Phil (Mickelson) said. So, we'll try and find a good bottle of that tonight somewhere. But yes, it's…. this thing will be, will be nice to have in my possession for a year and…. I'm excited to go back to St. Andrews next year. St. Andrews is my favourite Open venue and, I can't wait to defend this thing there."
