Tom Brady makes his feelings perfectly clear on | Golf News

Tom Brady has provided effusive reward for golfer Rory McIlroy on his historic profession Grand Slam. It comes after Elton John also reached out to the Ulsterman.

While guesting on Patrick Kielty’s Late Late Show in Ireland, the NFL great expressed admiration for McIlroy’s current victory at the Masters match.

“It was incredible to watch,” Brady mentioned. “I have been at that course (Augusta National) with Rory playing. Shane [Lowry] and his dad, Rory and his dad, me and my dad—One of the great highlights of my life is being on a golf course with them. Rory kicks my butt every time we play, obviously.

“Seeing him obtain that after all he is gone through in golf and overcoming them struggles… I’m sure he appreciated that win more than any different win in his life because of how exhausting it was, not because of how simple it was.

“He could have won it 14 years ago and it would have been great then, but I think you cherish it more now because you have that perspective of what it’s like when you don’t win or when you come close and that get it.

“For all of us, the worst issues that occur in life finish up being the best issues if you are taking the correct perspective. I’ve had a lot of failures in my life, and when you overcome them, you look back and say, ‘I’m so comfortable I went through that because without failing, I would not recognize the profitable as a lot.'”

DON’T MISS

McIlroy’s victory at Augusta, ending an 11-year drought for a major title, was not just a personal triumph but an entry into the annals of golfing history. He clinched his first Green Jacket after a nail-biting playoff against Justin Rose, securing his place among golf’s elite with a career Grand Slam alongside icons like Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, and Tiger Woods.

The win drew accolades from celebrities across sports and entertainment, with McIlroy expressing his surprise on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” at the wide range of well-wishers. He recounted: “I used to be kind of overwhelmed with the people who reached out from all completely different walks of life, you recognize, tradition and leisure.

“But, the one that got me was Sir Elton John. That was like incredible. So, I actually haven’t been able to contact him so his assistant left me a voicemail and said, ‘Sir Elton would love to congratulate you in person. The only problem is he doesn’t have a cell phone, so you might get a phone call from a number in Windsor, England from a landline.’

“I’m like ‘Sure!’, but we have not been ready to join so I’d love to attain out. I did not even know if Elton John knew what golf was.”
