WATCH: Rory meets Rory as golf superstar surprises young fan at the Memorial Tournament

Rory McIlroy showed his kind side as he took time out to sign an autograph by one of his fans – who is also incidentally called Rory – at the Memorial Tournament.

In the 14-second clip on the PGA Tour X account, a young girl can be seen holding a card which reads “My name is Rory too”.

After walking over to sign the card, Rory asks the little girl: “How are you, Rory? You good?” as the pair interact.

Proudly showing off McIlroy’s signature, the video ends with the little girl saying “thanks Rory”.

McIlroy starts his bid at the Memorial on Thursday as he is scheduled to tee-off at 3.25pm alongside America’s Justin Thomas.

He will hope to fine tune his game as he chases the seventh major title of his career, which would take him clear of Sir Nick Faldo’s tally and make him the most successful European of the modern era, later this month at the US Open at Shinnecock Hills in New York.
