The ballad of Rory McIlroy

An Irish band named the Corrigan Brothers have a vested interest this week. They are pulling for Rory McIlroy to win the green jacket.

The Corrigan Brothers have honored their favorite golfer with a song on YouTube. Check it out here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWpfoMS6m0E

The only problem with the song? McIlroy is no longer No. 1 in the world. He's No. 2 behind Luke Donald. With a win this week in Augusta, McIlroy will make the Corrigan Brothers' song ring true.

The ballad of Rory McIlroy

In Hollywood Ireland

in the county of Down

they’re celebratin’

and paintin’ the town

in the Honda classic

in the Florida sun

young Mcilroy

became golf’s number one

when he was a young boy

his ambition unfurled

he wanted to be

number one in the world

instead of pitchin’

on to the green

he chipped into his mum’s

washing machine

four rounds of great golf

four rounds of great scores

On the PGA

National course

The talented tiger

Came with a late run

But Rory held out

To be number one

On greens and on tees

In rough and in sand

His clubs are like magic wands

In his hand

And all of his fans are

Wishin and hopin

That he’ll win more majors

Masters and opens

So here’s to the young man

And what he’s done

On top of the world

He is golf’s number one

With a smile on his face

He’s golf’s wonderboy

The World’s number one

Rory McIlroy
