Cool moment of POY/ROY call: Rory was on 18 tee at St. Andrews. Hadley at coffee shop in Raleigh: Hopefully I'll be on 18 w/ Rory next year.

At the outset, it would appear that he's working on winning the 2014-15 POY as well in playing St. Andrews, site of next year's British Open. But really McIlroy is just getting ready for the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship later this week.
McIlroy was the obvious choice for the award as he was the only golfer to win multiple majors this past season. Throw in the Bridgestone and this was pretty much a no-brainer.
