Rory McIlroys Open Ball up for Auction

Rory McIlroys Open Ball up for Auction
You know what was really cool about Rory McIlroy’s win earlier this month at the Open Championship? The sheer joy the 25-year-old exhibited once sinking that final putt on the 18th hole at Royal Liverpool.

Even more remarkable was what the Northern Irishman did next. Throwing his custom Nike RZN Black golf ball into the cheering crowd. Lee Horner from Leeds was the lucky recipient of the major memorabilia, but not for long.

Shortly after McIlroy threw the ball Green Jacket Auctioneers in America took to Twitter, offering up $10,000 for it.

With the help of social media Green Jacket found Horner and now have the ball, stamped “RORS.” It looks like Horner didn’t agree to the $10,000 and is hoping it will go for far more.




Until the 9th of August the ball is available to bid on through the Green Jacket website. As of this morning the offer is up to $6,114! Depending on the deal Horner made we’re pretty certain he hopes that will more than double in the next 9 days.
