This week’s Campus Cutie is the dreamy Rory McIlroy. I know, I know, I hear your cries that Rory, of course, is not actually a student at St Andrews. Yet, as the dashing celebrities descend upon the Old Course for the annual Dunhill Championship, Rory is technically on the St Andrews ‘campus’ and thus totally qualifies as one of our cuties!
Rory is a native Irishman, born and brought up Holywood, County Down. He began his successful career with a bang, winning his first major open at just twenty-two, at the U.S Open in 2011. The following year Rory won the 2012 PGA Championships at Kiawah Island and two years later, he won the final two majors in 2014. Rory is a member of both the European and PGA tours and is currently World Number One in Golf and a four-time major champion.
Yet, as the Dunhill championship draws to a close, and the frenzied St Andrews fans return to their books and the makeshift VIP area in Mabelles is dismantled. I am sure that some of you breathe a sigh of relief that you no longer have the relentless torment of seeing your friends selfies of Rory, Jamie, Hugh and Bill fill up every social media feed….that is until next year of course!
