Second PGA Championship Question: Was Rory's Win The Most Satisfying Major Triumph This Year?

No offense to the first three major winners--Watson, Simpson, Els--but for me the PGA Championship win by Rory McIlroy was the most satisfying win. Even with the golf course so soft, it felt like McIlroy overcame more (varied weather, winds) while having the freedom to separate himself with his supreme talent to drive the ball long and accurately.

The Masters was obviously the most compelling to watch, but the awkwardness of deciding a major with a sudden death playoff and the sad tactics the club must resort to just to make the course playable take a little from Bubba's win.

The U.S. Open and Open Championships were not as satisfying because driver was such a minor player. As was suspected heading into Olympic Club and Royal Lytham, the player able to combine distance with accuracy had very few opportunities to display his talents. Constricting setups resulted in efforts to bring relevancy to architecture long since passed up by modern driving distances.

At the PGA, 7,700 yards that played like it (or longer) allowed McIlroy to display his remarkable talent for length and accuracy. He threw in some amazing short game work and won in a way that left no doubt he was the best player.

So while all the major champions and their pursuers deserve a tip of the cap for giving it their all and putting on great displays of skill this year, Rory's win at the PGA left me most impressed. You?
