“With success comes expectation. I know expectations on me are pretty high now, but I expect big things of myself anyway,” McIlroy told Sky Sports at his homecoming in Holywood, near Belfast.
“As long as I keep committed and dedicated, I don’t see any reason why I won’t handle it (extra pressure) well.”
The 22-year-old was also quick to describe his performance as the best of his career.
“Last week was fabulous. The golf I played – I’ve never played before in my life,” he said.
“I always wanted to believe that I could win a Major, but until you do, you never know. It feels great.”
Meanwhile, fans will be given the chance to play alongside McIlroy during the upcoming Irish Open in Killarney. Anyone buying a ticket will go into a draw to take part in the pre-tournament pro-am. Not only that but the winner will be put up in four-star accommodation for two nights.
