Rory McIlroy's friend Stephen Crooks says as a teenager the golfer trained "12 hours a day everyday". The Northern Irishman has won the Open Championship by two shots at Royal Liverpool to land his third major title. The Northern Irishman joined Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus as the only players to win three of golf's modern majors by the age of 25. McIlroy, 25, now just has the Masters left to complete a career Grand Slam. Starting six clear, McIlroy fired a final-round 71 to finish 17 under as Garcia, who three times got to within two strokes, shot 66 and US Open runner-up Fowler 67. Stephen Crooks is the Head Professional at Holywood Golf Club which is Rory's home town, he says Rory is a "huge asset to Northern Ireland".
