    Life is beyond cruel. A fine man, from a brilliant family, Caolán Finnegan died this morning. Represented Armagh, Crossmaglen & St Colman’s Newry. Tried everything to fight off Brain cancer. A warrior on the field and off it. A role model for us all. He was just 20

    That approach shot on 15 is actually beyond words. Just when it seemed to be slipping away from McIlroy. Nick Faldo on commentary “Maybe the shot of his life”

    Jody Gormley died this evening. Life is so unfair. I hope his family can take some comfort, in knowing that he was stunning human being. He was the best of us❤️

    In my opinion, the best player of his generation. A leader before his time. So disappointed Michael Murphy has retired from inter-county football as we won’t see him play anymore for Donegal- a colossus in every sense of the word. What a player, what a man. A genuine gem

    Apart from the skill of James taking this shot- what’s also amazing is the fact there’s about 350 people in it- not one person on their phone. Not one. (My wife noticed this, not me) Beautiful
