McIlroy became only the sixth player in history to complete the career Grand Slam when he triumphed at Augusta National, defeating Justin Rose in a Play-Off to finally don the green jacket on Sunday. After the big win, Faldo – who won the Masters himself three times – made sure to give the 35-year-old Northern Irish man’s home town recognition. During the coverage of the dramatic finale, Faldo said: “They’ll all be going mad at The Dirty Duck Alehouse in Holywood.” Paul Kimmage at the Masters The Champion Responding, the pub posted on Facebook on Monday: “WOW! We are so proud of you @rorymcilroy Just a kid from Holywood with a dream. “A lifetime of dedication from Rory and all those around him to get to this moment, 10 years on the making. Worth every second. “Rory’s corner is a staple of the Dirty Duck and we were beyond honoured and shocked to get a shout out from Faldo during last night’s commentary; feels like we are a small part of history now. “Amazing moments of golf that will no doubt be re-watched by millions for years to come. “Well done Rory, see ya soon r kid!”
