Rory McIlroy has impressed this season by completing a career Grand Slam. The Northern Irish golfer has been brilliant in a number of tournaments, but his most memorable moment was certainly his victory at Augusta National. In addition, winning the Ryder Cup with the European team has given his season even more significance.
Some are wondering if Rory McIlroy is now the best European golfer of all time.
Although Sir Nick Faldo holds the record with six major titles won, many believe that McIlroy's victories are just as significant, and Dame Laura Davies has reacted to Sir Nick Faldo's statements, who believes that the Northern Irish golfer is a much better player than him regardless of the majors he has won.
This is why Davies believes that McIlroy is truly the best European golfer ever.

I think so. We were there when he won at Augusta with Sir Nick, and even he said, I have a couple more majors, but what he has done now puts him above me.
If someone like Nick is saying that, we really do need to listen to that. He gets my vote, for sure.
Rory's future
It is important to point out that Rory McIlroy is 36 years old and has many more years ahead of him. Winning major titles has certainly lifted a burden off his shoulders and opened many doors.
Whether that means Rory will win more majors is hard to say, but he certainly has a good foundation for it.
Fans have mixed predictions when it comes to Rory McIlroy. While some believe that Rory will win many more majors after winning the Masters, others believe that the Northern Irish golfer may have lost motivation after achieving the greatest feat in the world of golf winning the Masters and also achieving a victory on the away soil at the Ryder Cup.
