Golf, along with its corporate backers and broadcast partners, has been searching for someone to emerge as a star that can carry the sport forward after nearly two decades of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson dominating almost every storyline on and off the course. Rory McIlroy proved Sunday that he can be that guy with a British Open win that marked his third major championship at the age of 25. The only golfers to win three majors at a younger age are Jack Nicklaus (24) and Woods (23). The sky is the limit for McIlroy.
