Rory dad has a 500/1 wager hanging on Rory winning The Open before he is 26. He is presently 25

Oh God I hope and pray he hits it!... can you imagine how gut wrenching his life will be if somehow this doesn't pan out BOL Mr. Mac... We're all behind you.

Actually the more I think about it, wouldn't it be incredible if it came out that Rory had some kind of gambling disease like M. Jordan and he shanked the shiit out of about 5 shots today and saved himself,, but screwed his pop. Modern day sporting news GOLD!

i think that money has to be split between 4 people his dad and 3 frends of his dad i guess 4 of them each placed 100dollars or so when he was 16 that he will win before 26 but i guess its still goood its not like he gonna need the money if rory wins good luck to them tho cool story
