Rory McIlroy turns 26 today, and he'll find a cheque for $1.57m gift wrapped for him after winning the WGC Cadillac Championship in San Francisco. Not a bad windfall, but because there are some things that money can't buy, Rory was also serenaded by the gallery after receiving his trophy.

They didn't do a whip round for a cake though? Stingy folk in San Fran it seems.
