Rory McIlroy gave positive signals about his future with his triumph at the Irish Open. Although it may sound like Rory was not completely dominant during the season, this victory certainly represents great momentum before this year's Ryder Cup.
When you look at the whole season, hardly anyone was as great as Rory McIlroy, except for Scottie Scheffler, who was a step above everyone else this year.
After Rory's last victory in Ireland, reporters reflected on his statements, in which he pointed out that Scottie "looks inevitable".
Reporters were particularly interested to see if Rory felt the same way, given that he has taken his chances this season and put in a really great game.

I think the more and more you get yourself in these positions, the more comfortable you are. Im not always in a situation like we had on the back nine where theres three or four of us in with a chance. I always feel like I always put myself in those positions and be able to find a way to get it done.
It doesnt always work out that way, but as I said, the more you get yourself in those positions, the more comfortable you feel. I think the more experience you have, the more you figure out what is going to be enough to get the job done. Ive played over 400 professional tournaments, and Id like to think Ive been in contention in at least 25 percent of them, if not more."- he said, as quoted by The Golfing Gazette.

The 36-year-old golfer probably felt the biggest relief after winning the Masters this year. Fighting for such a trophy for years and finally getting into a position to wear the green jacket is certainly a moment that Rory will never forget.
Playing in major tournaments and fighting for the top spot is a great lesson for a golfer who has been an important figure in the golf world for years, and this experience will be extremely important at this year's Ryder Cup.
Rory is motivated to help his team with both his qualities and experience.
