ST. ANDREWS, Scotland - One incredible month of golf was enough for Rory McIlroy to be voted PGA Tour player of the year.The award was announced on Wednesday and surprised no one. McIlroy won the award, which is a vote of PGA Tour members, for the second time in three years.He joined Tiger Woods, Greg Norman and Nick Price as the only multiple winners of the Jack Nicklaus Award since it began in 1990.Id like to win a lot more in my career, and I feel like I can, McIlroy said from St. Andrews, where he is playing in the Dunhill Links Championship.McIlroy and Jimmy Walker each won three times on the PGA Tour, though the size of the trophy tilted heavily in favour of the 25-year-old from Northern Ireland. McIlroy went wire-to-wire to win the British Open, rallied from three shots behind on the final day at Firestone to capture his first World Golf Championship, and won the PGA Championship with a sterling back nine at Valhalla.He became only the seventh player to win the final two majors of the year, and the first since Padraig Harrington in 2008.Chesson Hadley of the U.S. was voted PGA Tour rookie of the year.McIlroy failed to win on the European Tour or on the PGA Tour in 2013 during a turbulent year when he switched out all of his equipment, and would end up in a legal mess after leaving his management company.He also struggled with a phenomenon that became known as Freaky Friday for taking himself out of tournaments with bad second rounds. He solved that enigma and roared back to No. 1 in the world with a solid year that became spectacular with his two major titles.McIlroy also led the PGA Tour with 12 finishes in the top 10, and he never finished worse than 25th. He also won the PGA Tour money title with just over $8.2 million, and he won the Vardon Trophy for the lowest adjusted scoring average.He won the award over Martin Kaymer, who won The Players Championship and U.S. Open; Masters champion Bubba Watson; FedEx Cup champion Billy Horschel; and Walker.The tour does not release vote totals.I guess it just makes me realize that even though last year wasnt the year I wanted, the last three or four years have been very, very good, McIlroy said. It gives me even more motivation to go on and work harder and try to win more tournaments, more majors, and be involved in more Ryder Cups like last week.McIlroy contributed two wins and two halves in Europes 16 1/2-11 1/2 victory over the Americans last week at Gleneagles.The PGA of Americas award for player of the year is based on points, and effectively ended when McIlroy captured his second major. Just like two years ago, he is virtually certain to win the money title on both sides of the Atlantic, and sweep the significant awards in Europe.Being voted player of the year by your peers is something thats important, he said. They are the guys that you play week in and week out, and the guys you are trying to beat week in and week out. And if they appreciate what youve done over the year, and see the hard work youve put in, and golf youve played, and think thats been the best of the season, thats something that means a lot to me.Hadley won the Puerto Rico Open, which was held opposite a World Golf Championship at Doral. Among the three rookies on the ballot, he was the only player with a PGA Tour victory, and the only one to advance to the third round of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Air Max 90 Canada .

With two Premier League titles and two domestic cups since 2011, that box has been ticked.Now for the next phase.On Monday, the English champions officially opened their lavish $300 million training and player-development centre — the City Football Academy. A muddy wasteland with no opportunities in a neglected area has been regenerated into a sprawling, 80-acre state-of-the-art campus.Connected to the clubs Etihad Stadium by a bridge, it houses all of Citys teams — from the under 8s to Manuel Pellegrinis senior side — has 16 1/2 pitches, a 7,000-capacity stadium for the Citys top youth team along with educational facilities and accommodation.Forget the recent signings of superstars Sergio Aguero, Yaya Toure and David Silva. City says this facility is the clubs most important investment — and unlike anything English football has ever seen.In a rare public appearance, City chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said Monday the academy aimed to be something that would truly differentiate the club as a leader in the world of football, representing the first stage of fulfilling a promise made when the Abu Dhabi United Group took over in 2008.Inspiration was taken from AC Milans Milanello training facility, Barcelonas famed La Masia academy from which Lionel Messi is the most famous graduate, the Australian Institute of Sport and NBA team New York Knicks MSG Training Center, among others. It isnt, though, a copy-and-paste job, says academy director Brian Marwood.There are some special touches. Sleep experts designed thhe players bedrooms, there are rooms for cryotherapy and a hypoxic chamber with treadmills where players can train in different temperatures.dddddddddddd(You want) the club that will give you the best chance, former France midfielder Patrick Vieira, who is the head of Citys Elite Development squad, said Monday about attracting the worlds best youngsters. Because at that age, you dream about being a first-team player. I think when you look at these facilities, that will be an easy choice.United may have something to say about that.Still the biggest club in England, United has a track record of bringing youngsters through the youth teams and into the first team. Recently hired Dutch coach Louis van Gaal, despite spending $250 million pounds on top, mostly foreign players over the summer, appears intent on continuing that tradition.During Citys recent rise to the top, home-grown players have hardly had a look-in. To many, that needs to change if the new training academy is to be considered a success.We know how difficult it will be to make it, Vieira said, ... but when you have a facility like this, you give yourself the chance.Marwood pointed to the fact that City had two teenagers on the bench in the recent league match at Sunderland, and that 18-year-old Spaniard Jose Pozo played nearly an hour of Saturdays 1-0 win over Everton. Twelve players under the age of 21 are currently out on loan.Sheikh Mansour, Citys owner, said in 2008 that the clubs leaders are building a structure for the future, not just a team of all-stars. The demands of UEFAs Financial Fair Play rules make that a necessity.Understandably, Vieira didnt want to give a timeframe about when he thought the first academy product would make it into Citys top team.But given his winning mentality as a player and the ambitions of Citys owners, expect it to happen sooner rather than later.
