00:00Two days after he's done it, he won the Masters, everybody's still talking.
00:05You were saying today the newspaper's full of eight pages of golf.
00:08Yes, I think the Times have got eight pages of golf in the mail.
00:09Eight pages of golf.
00:10Yeah, loads of pictures.
00:11I think it's great.
00:12And I'm speaking to people that were not into golf.
00:14They'd always been moaning about, oh, it's so boring, it's this and that.
00:17They're going, oh, yeah, do you see Rory last night?
00:19Which is great.
00:20So do we think a knighthood?
00:23I'm always, again, often I think, oh, you know, I don't like it.
00:25They give him a knighthood.
00:27They get an Olympic gold all of a sudden, knighted or dame, something.
00:30But this is such a huge thing that he's done.
00:33When you think about it, why wait till he's 60 before recognising his achievements?
00:37Why wait for the new year?
00:38Let's do it now.
00:39Yeah.
00:39Let's get him to the palace.
00:40Make it a knight.
00:41He's not just the first Brit.
00:42He's the first European, is that right, to win the Grand Slam?
00:45To win the Grand Slam.
00:46See, the Grand Slam is something that's never really mentioned
00:49because it's so rare to win all four majors.
00:52And it's only been the last couple of days.
00:54People are calling it the Grand Slam, the great Grand Slam.
00:56But Rory, nobody, like Severiano Ballesteros, Nick Faldo, none of them did it.
01:01Apart from Rory, it just shows, it's an incredible feat.
01:04And you've got Rory's name up in lights.
01:06You know Rory's from Hollywood.
01:07Yes.
01:08Hollywood.
01:09Hooray for Hollywood.
01:09That's what I say.
01:10Hooray for Hollywood.
01:11Hollywood.
01:12And Rory's a nice guy, right?
01:15Because you would imagine.
01:16He's more than a nice guy.
01:17Yeah.
01:18And he played Hollywood Golf Club, which was his local golf club.
01:20My goodness me, it's all on a hill.
01:22It's, you know, it would lacquer you.
01:25Yeah, right.
01:25That's the Hollywood Hills, isn't it?
01:27That's it.
01:27The Hollywood Hills.
01:28Has he got the Hollywood written across on the top of the hill?
01:30If you live there, you're all right.
01:31Yeah, yeah.
01:32I lived at the foot of the Hollywood Hills.
01:34Did you, right?
01:35Yeah, yeah.
01:35The poor bit.
01:36Oh, OK.
01:36I got you, yeah.
01:37And where was Rory?
01:39Rory lived...
01:39It was halfway up.
01:40No, no, no, no, no, he wasn't.
01:42His family, very ordinary family.
01:44Yeah.
01:44I mean, goodness me, what's he worth now?
01:4650 million or so?
01:47Oh, keep going.
01:48Yeah, yeah.
01:48Yeah, keep going.
01:49Keep going.
01:49I mean, if you think of the money that they win from tournaments,
01:52so you're thinking like two, three million pounds every time
01:54when they win a tournament, and then the endorsements,
01:57there's Nike, you know, and the money that they would pay,
02:00and that's going to go up.
02:01Yeah.
02:01So the most unbelievable amount of money,
02:04but if you can keep grounded when you've got that sort of thing,
02:07that's a special person.
02:08I better get friendly with them.
02:10I think so.
02:11Well, this is what I was going to head to.
02:12Can you get closer, get back into,
02:15we can hang out with Rory for a while?
02:17Rory would be our mate.
02:18He would be great.
02:19I think he'd get on great with us.
02:20I'll tell you what he is.
02:21He's the most ordinary guy.
02:22You meet him.
02:23I remember one night, he just, he's good company.
02:28Yeah.
02:28And I always thought that there was a weakness with him,
02:31that he was too friendly with too many people.
02:33Yeah.
02:33I mean, people I'll not name, but I remember, you know,
02:36people at the height of their career,
02:38and they're watching games or they're watching,
02:41I remember once at the snooker tournament,
02:43walking up to a player and saying,
02:45incidentally, when this is over, could I,
02:47and he just said, shut your mouth.
02:49You are kidding me.
02:50Yeah, he did.
02:50Is he alive or is he dead?
02:51Oh, he's very famous.
02:53And he said to me, never,
02:55and he was wearing sunglasses and he took them off,
02:57he said, never, ever interrupt me when I'm watching snooker.
03:01And, you know, but I learned something from that, you know.
03:04Yeah, but come on.
03:04I mean, it's rude, but you can kind of understand
03:06that some people need to kind of psychologically protect themselves.
03:10I don't know.
03:11Yeah, yeah.
03:11And it must be frustrating sometimes when people interrupt you.
03:14But on the other hand, be a nice guy.
03:16But for me, it's not a bad noise.
03:17No, I know.
03:17There's no excuse for bad manners.
03:19No, that's right.
03:19At least you go, look, sorry, but...
03:21I'm just concentrating at the moment.
03:22Can you speak to me later or something like that?
03:23Yeah, please, you char.
03:25But you were saying yesterday, Eamon,
03:26he's now, you know, one of the most famous,
03:28one of the most successful people from Northern Ireland.
03:30I think there was even a suggestion he should do an open-top bus tour.
03:33Well, that was me yesterday.
03:33And was it you?
03:34I think I absolutely should, yeah.
03:36Why should...
03:37Eamon...
03:37Not today, it's right.
03:38Eamon will be driving the bus.
03:40Yeah.
03:40And there'll be Rory there as well.
03:41I have a bus with my picture on it.
03:42I know, yes, I know.
03:44That's what they want.
03:45They just have the Eamon bus, Rory on the top, waving.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Yeah.
03:49Yeah.
03:50Yeah.
