Masters Champ Rory McIlroy Sings With Louisiana’s Molly Ringwalds

Yesterday was an epic day at Augusta National as pro golfer Rory McIlroy won the Masters Tournament and completed the Grand Slam in golf. What is the grand slam in golf, you ask? It is when one player wins all four major championships.

Only five professional golfers have ever done it. They are Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods, and now Rory McIlroy has added his name to the list.

Since Rory is in the news, we started thinking about last year when the PGA Tour made a stop in Louisiana for the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. The format was a little different than what you are used to seeing when watching a PGA Tour event.

Most tournaments feature individual golfers trying to win the tournament after four days of play. At the Zurich Classic of New Orleans, they paired two golfers together to play as a team to try and win the championship.

Now, Grand Slam champion Rory McIlroy and major champion Shane Lowry came out on top, winning the tournament in the playoff. After they won, they were in the mood to celebrate, and how did they do that? They sang with Louisiana-based popular party band The Molly Ringwalds.

The popular band was playing a show under a tent with hundreds of golf fans who had attended the tournament.

Rory McIlroy and Shane Lowry walked in with a cold beer in their hand and got up on stage, and the band started playing the legendary Journey song Don't Stop Believing. That is when Rory McIlroy took the microphone, and the crowd went wild.

Rory, with Shane Lowry standing next to him, started singing the song with the band. What a super cool moment for the fans, the band, and the players. Here are a couple of videos that were shot during Rory's performance. The first one was posted by the PGA Tour.

How awesome was that?  Here is another one we found on YouTube from the news outlet WDSU News.

We hope you enjoyed this as much as we did.
