Rory McIlroy captured his second straight U.S. success in easily winning over the crowds at a junior clinic he hosted in downtown Brooklyn, New York.

McIlroy, with the 27-lb Rodman Wanamaker trophy in tow, attended the junior clinic organised by the New York City Parks Foundation.

The clinic was held at the Dyker Beach course located on 86th Street and close to the Verrazano-Narrows Toll Bridge linking New York with New Jersey.

“I just want to put some smiles on some faces,” said McIlroy to reporters.

“I’ve never been to Brooklyn before and I’ve just loved it.   New York is my favorite city in the U.S.  I love the buzz and atmosphere.

“I said I wanted to do something here in New York so we’re doing something fun for the city and its golfers.’ ”

McIlroy was very hands-on and affording each of the 50 youngsters a private like session.

It was also the first time McIlroy had touched a club since his stunning eight-stroke triumph at Kiawah Island.

“I had a good week hanging out with my girlfriend and getting away from it all, which was probably a good thing,” he said.

“I’m not sitting here saying to myself, ‘Oh, God, I’m going to have to deal with all these expectations.

“I’m not worried about it. It was a big achievement; I’m happy with it.”

Straight after capturing the PGA Championship McIlroy declared his desire to win a third Major and he reinterated that goal in front of teh Brooklyn youngters.

“I’m just want to get to three major championships,” he said.

“There’s no point thinking farther ahead than that.”

McIlroy ended his day sitting at a table while he signed autographs for a line of more than 80 golfers and their parents.

Then, standing feet from 14th Avenue, he posed for pictures, having brought along a prop, the enormous Wanamaker Trophy he earned for winning the P.G.A. Championship.
