Rory McIlroy’s record U.S. Open win let a gambler cash in on a 10-year-old bet with plenty of time to spare.
An anonymous Irishman bet on McIlroy to win a major tournament before he turned 25 after playing with the youngster 10 years ago, according to the website DigitalJournal.com.
McIlroy, of Northern Ireland, won this weekend’s U.S. Open at 22 years, 1 month old. The gambler collected more than $40,000 on the 500-1 shot.
McIlroy’s father placed a similar wager seven years ago that will pay 500-1 if his son wins the British Open before turning 25.
