Rory McIlroy wants to become one of the greatest golfers of all time after winning The Open on Sunday for his third major championship success at the age of just 25. The Northern Irishman admitted he had rediscovered his passion for the game after a tumultuous 12 months that saw him suffer the lowest point of his career at Muirfield last year when he missed the cut, split from his fiancee Caroline Wozniacki and became embroiled in a nasty legal dispute with his former manager. Sealed with a kiss: Rory McIlroy finally gets his hands - and lips - on the Claret Jug at Hoylake in July
