Rory shoots a -5, narrowly misses the win by 1 stroke, while the most dominant player in the game (Scottie) shot thirteen strokes worse with a +8. People need to zoom out a bit, other than a couple missed short putts, Rory played amazingly well.
Spot on
Needs to make it count tho. He’s come so close so many times but cannot seem to convert. I’m sorry but that was criminal on Sunday. 3 bogeys in last 4 holes. Driver on 18 was the dumbest decision he could make. There’s clearly something missing in his psyche. It’s a voodoo he can’t seem to shake.
Scotties putting like usual, probably looses 3 strokes a round.
True, but these guys play to win. He bogeyed 3 of the last 4 when he had a chance to close it out. Also, he left his chip on the high side on 18. I think that was a mental mistake. The putt itself was tough.
Exactly...... more needs to be focused on Brysons amazing win... forget about Rory and move on..... WELL DONE BRYSON, YOU DA MAN!
Jack Nicholas took second place 19 times in majors always shook hands.
Do you happen to know know how many Nicklaus won?? /lol
He beat the other 4 guys that had a full set of clubs, lol. You know that some of his wins were BEFORE THERE WAS A PGA tour.
I truly believe Cantlay’s putts influenced Rory missing putts on 16 & 18 ! I rewatched last night. Plus Rory was more worried about what Bryson was doing…lack of focus in the most critical moments.
Facts. Turning around and looking at Bryson’s drives and such made no sense in the moment.
That’s where he needed a tough caddy to get him focused on the job. Hate to say it but someone like a Steve Williams would have got him focused and what he needed to do. Caddy needs to know when to step in and not just say yes. Also need times to step in and snap his player out of it to refocus
Rory is better than this, but he is human. He, nor anyone else is Jack or Tiger. Tiger mentioned that in his 2019 Masters' final round, as he was in trouble on the 11th, and pondering how to hit his approach shot from the right side trees, he saw Koepka hit a solid iron into 12, that went into the water. He mad a mental note of that, and knew he had to take an extra club because Koepka's irons are a bit stronger than his nowadays. He did all this in about 7 seconds, and went right back to hitting a spot-on shot on 11, and eventually winning. Rory doesn't have this. He has to play better, and he can. That's all there is to it.
I agree I think he thought cantlay putt broke hard right on 16. When cantlay really shoved it. He played just a little break on that putt and pulled it just a little. If he hadn't watched cantlay putt he makes it. The one on 18 was a misread. He started it right on line. Curious about the driver on 18 when he hit 3 wood perfect the day before. That picture n placement doesn't require going at it with a wedge either. Pin was on the back of the green so you didn't need to stop the ball on a dime. All of these these observations are things that a good caddie would pick up on
@@gregwolfe8005 i absolutely agree, it’s these small margins that mean winning and coming 2nd
I totally agree, I never felt Rory was going to win even when he went up 2 toward the end.
Caddies can make a difference in key moments. Look what Bryson’s caddie said to him with the bunker shot. Podcast idea get a top tour caddie on the podcast.
I agree with you 100% caddies make a difference, Rory never won a Major with his best friend on the bag..... you're absolutely right Lucap
What did his caddie say?
Agreed but, that 3 footer miss had nothing to do with his caddie, which would have won him the open
Hitting driver on 18 instead of the planned 3 wood.
Rory is surrounded by yes men
Ricky (koepka caddy) is from rorys home town and has 5 majors
@@JordansTake35 Usga press conference at 2:20. He speaks about it. Something along the lines of, “it’s an up and down from here, I’ve seen you hit the craziest shots from 50 yards out the bunker”
Phil has 6 second place finishes in the U.S. Open...so he can feel Rory's pain.
Phil had to contend with prime Tiger
That loss to Payne Stewart at Pinehurst was a heartbreaker.
Taking nothing away from Payne… rest his soul.
But as a lefty and a big fan of Phil’s game…
That one hurt.😊👍
I know this situation isn’t exactly the same, but Mickelson didn’t win his first major until he was 34 years old and had the reputation of being a great player who wasn’t clutch in the majors. Rory could still have a late career renaissance. I also think Bryson deserves a ton of credit. Yes Rory slipped up but Bryson had to complete the most difficult up and down in all of golf, with the added pressure of winning the US Open if he pulls it off. Even in a practice round that bunker shot is nearly impossible…
Yeah he could have a resurgence but it could go the other way as well. Look at Arnold Palmer - He won all his majors between 1958 & 1964 & then he was done at 35 years old .
Mickelson had Tiger to deal with, plus the confidence of knowing he could do it didn't come until Augusta '04. McIlroy's known he can win majors since the '11 US Open and without wanting to sound dismissive, there's no relentless destroyer out there he should fear.
Sorry he was not called great until well beyonfdhis 40th win and a major or 2. See my comment.
I remember hearing about a stat after Tiger won the 2019 Masters that nobody has won more than 1 major after going 10+ years in-between major wins, if Rory doesn't win the open next month history says he'll only win 1 more major at best for a total of 5 in his career...how crazy is that?
I think Rory has a good 10-12 year window with his fitness and the way players are built these days. The thing is how many young guns will be in his way
Thanks for bringing up the 2nd place finishes of everyone. It's a great historical perspective on how hard it is to win, even for the best of all time.
Nicklaus has 19 second place finishes in majors….
And no one ever called Jack a choker in the media back then. Today, they probably would. Jack himself says he gave 5 of them away (and all of us fans remember which ones).
And to the guys' point about length between wins, Jack only had 7 total years where he didn't win a major, stretched out over a period of 19 years, ages 22 to 40. That should have been Rory.
@@JackandTom-tz8kj Why ?
@@ronwest217 Why Rory? He had the talent and swagger initially to be able to pick off a major almost every year, over an extended period of time, in the opinion of many in the golf world. He's the only one other than Jack and Tiger who had the ability to put himself in contention so often.
You mentioned Tom Watson with 8 majors. What you didn’t mention was that Watson won his last major at age 32. No one could have predicted at the time that Watson would never win another major, just like it is entirely possible that maybe Rory has already won his last major.
Rory's putt on 18 was a tricky putt, down hill, left to right. The other short putt is the one that really surprised me and I'm sure he's really kicking himself over that one. Rory is carrying 10 years of expectations so if and when he wins another I think he may likely win a few more. As someone watching from a distance and as one of the commentators said Bryson played fearlessly and that bunker shot on 18 he went for it and pulled it off. Rory seems more tentative at times. It's hard to win if you are afraid to lose. I sure hope Rory wins another major. Overall, I thought it was a great venue. My only gripe was the wire grass was a luck of the draw. There will always be some luck of how the ball ends up but with the wire grass, two players can hit to essentially the same place and end of with two very different lies.
One of the biggest us open chokes. Right up there with Phil in 06
This is even bigger than Phil’s..
That was Norman or DJ type choke
Scott Hoch King of choke just handed his crown to RM
Agreed. Norman 1996 biggest ever choke. @@Mark-vr5hc
Mickelson - 45 professional wins
Faldo - 42 professional wins
McIllroy - 40 professional wins
I think he's doing alright
Rory has 26 wins on the PGA tour
Oh, then why was he frowning so much if he had all of those wins under his belt? Maybe he forgot that he wins alot of the other events. That would cheer him up for sure.
Faldo doesnt have 42 pga wins either
Faldo has 9 I think
Rory does not have 40 pga tour wins.Where are you coming up with these stats?
Speaking of 2nd place finishes in majors, the player with the most runner-ups is Jack Nicklaus with 19. Insane to think he had more 2nd place finishes than wins. But I was like you, Rick. Even when Rory had a two shot lead with 4 holes to play all I was thinking was how he was going to manage to lose it, because I knew he would. He just lacks that killer instinct.
Aye Right.Rory is a Winner.
I've been saying the thing about his caddie for years. Not won a major since taking on Harry, I don't think its a coincidence. He's a bag carrier, not a caddie.
The caddy take from rick is accurate. Hire Bones, he's a free agent right now. The caddy is the only voice of reason in those tense moments, grounds you, you hear bryson acknowledge his caddy, and make the comment about surrounding himself with the right people. I think he needs a more seasoned caddy. Great take Rick, Guy referencing a psychologist is accurate but have the caddy echo those words of encouragement cause the psychologist can't be on the course with him during those high pressure moments.
The golfer can not take his advice... also thr caddies doesn't make putts
Jeezo - Rory is still in his prime and still has plenty of time to win plenty more majors. He's the most consistent player in the last 10-12 years, he's the one player that makes me switch on golf each week due to the way he plays. Yes he won 4 early on when he was younger and without the bruises, now a combination of bad luck, extra pressure and more players at an elite level has contributed to the stats Rick is talking about now. No-one else deals with what he has to deal with and so no-one else truly knows what, if anything would make the difference. Caddy will always be the one that people will attack now, but was it also the caddy that got him int he right mindset to get him challenging in the first place....
Those short putts he missed was heart breaking. I was pulling for him.
I think Rors is dealing with a lot of demons right now personally and professionally. If he can get past that, he can win more majors. I've never seen anyone want a major more than Rory right now. It was tough to watch him get gutted after Bryson made that putt to win.
Not for me - he’s a lickspittle for the PGA
The real regret for McIlroy is that he honestly couldn't have asked for a better scenario to rack up majors. He became a contender just as Tiger Woods' prime ended, there has been nobody of that level standing in his way. To go on a decade-long drought on the biggest stage with the talent he has and the table set is almost beyond belief.
I think there’s an argument to be made that a loss like this will either crush his spirit and he’ll never recover, or it lights a fire like losing the PGA did for Bryson and he goes off. It’ll be interesting to see how he reacts.
Great point about 'if it was a normal tournament he would have won' - we've seen his success at the FedEx. Maybe time for a caddie change - would a top level caddie let him take driver at 18?
I’ve said for the last 2 years that Rory will not win another major . It’s all mental to him. Sunday was just more scar tissue for him.
He will win another Major - absolutely !! He is so talented, it will happen. He also wants it so will stay focused. I have complete faith
Bold take here.... Rory will win at least 2 more majors, if not 3, and once he starts the streak again it'll happen within a 2 year calendar period. Yeah it's disappointing to be that close, but lets look at it this way, is he randomly close and sometimes far back, or has he been more recently hanging around that 'so close' spot? Since 2022 he's been getting more consistently close, and everybody knows he's still playing amazing golf, the big issue has been other and more golfers getting hot and Rory not really jumping out or having a bumper round to get several strokes up on the pack, which then makes it easier for us to look at those high pressure moments with missed putts... if he gets a jump early and cruises a little, with a few more strokes are those same high pressure situations still gonna exist the same way? I think once he pops the cherry on number 5 that will have a tremendous effect on his headspace and unlock better play for a few years.
lol no chance
He just needs to get one more and he’ll win a few more. His first major win came right after massive heartache at The Masters so I’d expect he’ll start with winning The Open.
Rory has the game to keep getting him into the mix on Sunday afternoon at Majors. He didn't choke on that putt, just misread the break.
I agree a caddy change should have happened a couple of seasons ago , I knew after his 6 @ 5th he wasn’t going to win also to overshoot 15th was poor course management . I still hope he will win another major his quality of golf deserves it . 🏌🏼♂️🏌🏼♂️⛳️
the putt on 18 was not that easy I don't think.
scoring 69 on the Sunday on a course like that is really good.
When he was commentating on the final round, Nick Faldo talked about scar tissue and how someone like Aberg has none yet so he’s free and loose….after this gigantic misstep, Rory’s scar tissue is going to potentially destroy any chance he has of winning a fifth major! I hope I’m wrong….
If Rick was 2 shots clear with 4 to play, I'm certain Rick would've holed those putts on 16 and 18.
Rory will win a tonne more PGA tour events. That is his level. Especially now that many of the big names have gone to LIV. Rory very very rarely puts together good rounds to put himself in position in R1 and 2 of majors. So he can free wheel on sunday because he's coming from too far back. This was one of those rare chances where he had left himself only 3 back and where the leader did something insane in changing his driver head before the final round due to a 'flattening face'. Rory should have take his chance. the fact that he hasnt will haunt him.
A new caddie is needed I think your right there Rick, Driver was wrong club on drivable par 4, and 18, the last par 3 hit wrong iron and made boogie there too, missing in the wrong place on most holes on the way in,
1:46 Whilst I really hope Tommy does win a major, I'm not a fan of these assumptions it's a certainty that he will. Where does that assumption come from? We've certainly seen plenty of big name golfers not win a major.
Tommy hasn't even won on the PGA Tour, and we're talking majors? Lol
I don't think we should forget Bryson hit driver at 18 too and made the up and down of a lifetime to win that title. Rory keeps putting himself in contention so I can't see him not winning another major. I think its important not to over react to this.
How many years until you do freak out?
Driver on 18 is the right move for Bryson, it almost always takes out the big trouble, he can hit it past all the patches of wire grass. Driver gives a much larger range of an "ok" shot
Well said
Well done. Guy was crushing on this one. Very inciteful discussion.
Rory can win, but he has major mental work to do if he wants to get another opportunity. It's really up to him. I hope he does it.
Greg never shook of his " Choker " status for throwing away 6 strokes in the final against Faldo in the Masters. If Rory can shake it off he will win many more majors. But I don't think he will. He drained some great puts all weekend. To miss those few short puts at the end when it really mattered. That's self belief and he had an empty tank to draw on.
Congrats to Bryson. After all the crap we fans have had to go through the last few seasons. Yeah Karma is a bitch.
Hopefully, Rory gets some perspective. He has won twenty-six tournaments on the PGA, four majors and wins on other circuits. He still has the game to win more. What a success story as it stands.
At the very highest level, caddies make a difference. McIlroy just has a bag carrier while everyone else has a knowledgeable advisor.
Miller, Weiskopf, Sutton, Pavin, Kite, Montgomery, Watkins, Duval, Love, Norman, Olazabal, Woosnam, Lehman, Singh, DJ, Harrington, Strange, Langer, all have less majors than Rory to name just a few. This pressure on Rory is kind of unfair given what he's already accomplished.
He has put it on himself by being so consistently in the mix. This is the burden of someone with this much talent, and it only makes sense to expect more from him. What bothers me is that whenever a player beats him for one of these Majors, that player suddenly has the guts, the pizzas, the eye of the tiger etc...and then falls off the planet and ends up with one or two Majors without even having any kind of career that mirrors Rory's. It's kind of stupid. DJ is a good example. And who knows where Rham and Cam Smith will end up. Yet, they are free of the scrutiny. Nobody has had it worse than Tiger though. Every detail, including which number club his wife threw at him, was in the news.
The problem is that Rory is more talented and gifted than everyone you mentioned. He should have 7 or 8 majors already.
I think that Rory is such a generational talent that everyone, to include himself, believes he should have his name in the hat for one of the greatest of all time. and the only way for him to get there at this point is to win a plethora of majors
@@christianhonig663 I hear ya but maybe the expectations have just gotten to be too much who knows maybe he will win the Open and have the last laugh
Caddy’s can win tournaments, a Billy foster, a bones, Ted Scott etc would not have let Rory hit the 7iron on 15 and defo not hit driver on 18.. 3wd / long iron hits fairway leaving 130-150 into green with Par pretty tied up, maybe birdie.. having your mate caddy while you find someone else is one thing but not long term.. I think he needs to change.. I still think he wins 2/3 more majors in his career and still believe he wins the masters.. 👍
To win a Major today with the depth of fantastic golfers in the field is harder than ever and as good as Rory is everything will have to line up just right even down to being on the right side of the draw. I'm hoping he gets at least 1 more but if not he has had a fantastic career.
Rory is still young, strong and highly talented. Of course he’ll win another major, just give him time. It’s not easy winning majors!
It would be awesome to see u do a 10 shot challenge with rory
The pressure of winning as you age and public expectation ( a given) can be streesful and it shows in a players' game. Many younger players are coming through fast and furious. It piles on and make winning majors more and more difficult for high ranked players.. Rory is very capable and hope he can go on to win more majors..
Caddie needs to be changed. Not an accident he hasn't won a major since JP was on the bag. Caddie should have taken driver out of his hand on the 18th tee - put it in the fairway with 3 wood, P-9i onto the green and chance at birdie. Rory will not win another major until he changes caddie.
No one else talked about this topic, and I thought this was a by far the most interesting analysis from the U.S. Open. Really well nuanced, and made me think hard about if Rory will actually win another major. Well done by you two!
Would Rory be up to 8 or 9 Majors by now ? If he had kept JP Fitzgerald on the bag …. That’s something we will always be wondering about.
A top caddie would have snapped that driver in half as soon as Rory suggested it on the 18th tee (not physically). A top caddie saves a golfer from his emotions in top moments
Never ride off a champion, Rory at his best is the best. He will be back & win, hopefully the Open in July.
The media narrative around Rory is insane to me. People forget he already has 4 majors and a bunch of big time wins. If he quit today he’d be one of the all time best. Yes I feel like we would would all want him to close the deal more but I’d encourage people to look up how many times Jack Nicklaus finished 2nd in majors. Rory just needs to keep putting himself there and he will get more. Yes Pinehurst is heartbreaking but the comparison to Norman, Garcia, etc are so silly to me. The media needs to respect Rory more with their narrative. All this talk around him is diminishing his legacy and what he’s already accomplished.
I have been saying for years that Rory will never will another major with Harry on the bag. Harry is relatively useless other than carry his bag, clean his clubs, and rake the bunkers. Rory does everything by himself on the course. Have you ever heard Rory say, after a round, “We did this…. We did that….”? It’s always, “I….” Other major winners say, “We….” It is no coincidence that Rory, as a very young man, won his majors with an older, more experienced JP Fitzgerald on the bag. Rory needs someone who can actually help him on the course. Put Stevie Williams or Bones Macay on Rory’s bag and he wins more majors….
Rory is gonna win next year at Royal Portrush… the whole crowd will be behind him… I will be there pulling for him too!
100% he will win one or more; he deserve it if it was just because he was part 2 of the best 'TV-golfpromotion from this and precious year, the battle with bryson, and the round with Michel Block amazing television
Not a Rory fan and happy that Bryson won ⛳
Will Rick Shiels break 75 EVER AGAIN?!
When Rory does win his next major, and he will, I’m certain he will do it by a clear margin of 4 or 5 strokes. He was by far the best and most consistent player out there he just had a lot more pressure on his shoulders. Sorts out his mental game and he will win 2 or 3 more over a couple of seasons
I was the same as Rick , after Saturdays round he was leading I said he will bottle it tomorrow , really sad to be thinking that but it was almost predictable I think he puts so much pressure on himself that it overcomes his natural top class ability on the course
I think he will win another major, but it will likely take a meltdown from the leader to gift it him. Just don't think he can cope mentally when it is all on the line in a major. Expect him to keep knocking on the door with top 10 finishes and he will get a bit of luck to get him over the line.
100% time for a new caddy Rory as Steve Williams on his bag Sunday Rory wins simple as that
Not a chance. Steve Williams is a clown.
@@55rhill he’s been involved in winning more majors than most
@@mosttwisniewski5476 not even close. Wake up.
If Rory had a Woods/Faldo mentality he’d have won majors into double figures.
Unbelievable golfing talent but his “gameplay” is average at best, he makes far too many school boy errors time and time again and he appears to struggle under pressure.
Rory’s days of winning another Major are over
It’s mental, he’s been choking when it matters for years.
Have you ever seen Harry stop Rory and say “Is this what you really want to do”. No! I haven’t. Yes it’s time for a caddy change!
The caddie thing is 100% accurate- if you rewatch the last few holes on sky- if the commentators know he shouldn’t hit 7iron to that par 3 and it should be an 8iron- his caddie should know this as well and his caddie should reign him in on 18 to hit 3 wood instead of driver on the tee and those 2 decisions would eliminate those missed putts as a factor
Rory must be gutted. A couple of missed putts cost him big time. Now, he has to deal with all the tripe that goes with losing in the public eye, He is a champion ,just stumbled at the last hurdle, let's not forget this is golf and those greens were treacherous, certainly found a lot of the world's best wanting. Still chin up Rory as you fly away in your private jet mate
I feel like once he gets the monkey of his back he will probably win more majors he just needs that one to make him relax again, i have no doubt that if Rory had won a major inside the past 18 months he would of won this one as well, but its all mental with him now, we all know he is good enough its just where is his head at now?
Rory has missed his opportunity. Credit to Bryson though.
Theres a strong rumour his caddy called that 18th hole putt as inside left and Rory disagreed but the it put a huge doubt in his mind
It was inside left with a little pace.
Rory probably won't win another major tournament after the US Open in 2024. After a tough defeat, many greats experienced the same fate and never won another Major.
3 players as examples
Arnold Palmer's defeat to Billy Caper at the Olympic Club during the 1966 US Open, when Palmer led by seven shots with nine holes remaining. After that, Arnie didn't win another Major.
In addition to the dark forces in his head, Rory also will need to defeat players who can reach their peak at any moment for four days at any of the upcoming Majors and the next Open.
In the 1984 Open Championship at St Andrews, Watson was in contention during the final holes to win a third consecutive Open and a sixth Open Championship overall to tie the record for the most Open wins by Harry Vardon. However, Watson bogeyed the par-4 "Road Hole" 17th and Seve Ballesteros birdied the 18th, resulting in a victory for Ballesteros and Watson finishing in a tie for 2nd place. Watson had so many Major Championship heart breakers after that Open but Watson never won another major.
Greg Norman won the 1993 Open but that was his last Major, with his best chances coming in 95 US Open but he shot a final round 73 to lose by 2 to Corey Pavin, the 96 Masters meltdown, and two other good opportunities at the 99 Masters and the 08 Open.
Rory went from “the next Tiger” to “the new Lee Westwood”
Lee Westwood won 0 majors. Rory already won 4. Let’s be serious.
The margins in golf are so so so fine. Every tiny advantage you can get will help. Choice of caddie is hugely important. His current caddie is his mate and maybe he is the best choice…. But I don’t know.
Thing with Rory’s top 10s is he’s rarely in contention. The pressure comes off and he makes a charge but from too far back. Until he can cope with the pressure he will continue to struggle.
Fields are always increasing in level in comparison to 20+ years ago. Level and depth of field is so much stronger now these days
Rory had his putter in fire in the beginning of the round. He looked like the better player all day. As a golfer, those pressure putts are where championships are won. Tiger makes those putts 100 out of 100 times. That’s honestly the only difference. Rory has an amazing driver. Good short game. Putter was working on Sunday but when it comes to clutch time, he plays less than his best. If you want to call that choking, it’s a bit harsh but factual. MJ, Tiger, Kobe, Brady were all really good players in the regular season but when it came time to perform in the 4th quarter or the 18th hole they performed BETTER. Rory is an all time great talent without the clutch gene. In all honesty, I don’t think I have it either. Most people don’t. When pressure builds up, most guys faulter. Makes me appreciate Tiger so much more.
Very fine margins all told. If Rory's chip to 18 didn't release up the hill so far and he was left with the uphill putt Bryson had, then he likely makes par and all the pressure goes back on Bryson. Bryson's driving was off, but he got the rub of the green on some of the lies in waste areas. Rory hits 2 (almost) perfect shots on the Par 5 5th and ends up in a horrible depression and bogeys. Cantlay landed on the green in almost an identical spot and ended up with a straight forward bunker shot - small margins. As long as Rory keeps playing like he did and is in the hunt going down the back 9 Sunday, he'll finally get that 5th Major.
Definitely a change of caddy is needed. The caddy just doesn’t carry the bag, he should have said to Rory that finding the fairway was vital on the 18th. This would have made a four very likely and at worst a playoff. Bad strategy I’m afraid, let’s hope he can regroup and come again.
Rory has a skillset unrivaled by all but the best golfers ever but the mental fortitude of a player that hasn't won an event yet.
Bryson’s caddy told him he has hit tougher shots before he hit the bunker shot on 18. What did Rory’s caddy say on 16 and 18?
He was pace to be a top 5 golfer of all time. Now top 10 is in question.
If he had Steve Williams or Billy Foster on the bag he would be on at least 6 majors
It's a shame that people don't talk about 2nd place finishes. Bryson finished 2nd in the PGA Championship right before this US Open, so he was insanely close to winning back to back majors and none of the media even mentioned that.
Lmao, I'm sure Rory, if he does listen, will thank you for the boost in confidence !!! I do still think he's the best in the world. Stats do speak though! great chat guys. love the channel.
I missed put made the whole golfing world freak out.
I truly believe that a quality caddie (not your childhood best friend) is one of the things holding Rory back. A top class caddie who has been there and done it with greats of the game - would talk you through scenarios, council you and provide insight on tactics and strategy. Let’s be honest if Rory says “give me driver” your best mate is going to have a hard time talking him down. Whereas a Ted Scott for example, if he said “I disagree with this choice” you would likely listen and heed his advice. Rory needs to stop kidding himself that he can do it without a top dog on his bag - it’s clearly a marker for major success otherwise all the guys would have their best mates on the bag.
Pease show some class. Rory is a great golfer who had a few bad last holes, we all have been there.
He will win another major and your comments are saved.
The best player is normally somewhere in row k in the crowd.
He has behaved admirably throughout the whole (hole) LIV thing.
Nil bastardo carborundum.
Technology and fitness has allowed a lot of players to be in with a chance every tournament nowadays. In the old days I feel, skill and natural ability and vision mattered more.
I agree that he's got a tendency to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory and he's done it loads of times but the putt he missed on 18 looked like a nasty little tweaker. It looked to be a very quick downhill putt and it swung crazily from left to right. Perhaps he intended to hit it firmer (I doubt it) and perhaps he pushed it a fraction but it was horrible looking putt.
As someone who can't stand Rory, i hope he doesn't change a thing.
If you’re not first you’re last.
maybe Rory needs to go to LIV golf, got Brooks out of his slump 🤣
You should have mentioned that in the history of golf, Tiger and Rory are the only players who won Majors with 5 or more shots difference. Rory is doing great, yes, we can argue he made some mistakes, he made some long putts.
It's not the loss which is the worst aspect of this it seems. The way he left the event was completely disrespectful to everyone.
Nicklaus had 19 second places in the majors.
"all of these ones he finishes second, he's not winning..."
Rory hit 7 iron into 17, he needed to hit an 8. He hit driver off the 18th. He should've hit an iron. This all comes back to his caddie.
Nicklaus said he never listened to a caddie in his life

No matter how good you are, winning a major is HARD. Rory is good enough, but most of the time, you need a little luck to bring it home. The headlines say Rory choked, but I don't see it that way, Golf happened to Rory without rhyme or reason. And part of what happened is Bryson got lucky on 18, and so he won. 99 time out of 100 Bryson will not get up and down from that bunker.
He wins the British this year. Ernie won the British 10 years after his previous major. I see Rory doing the same. If he doesn't win this one I don't think he will win another. I see the loss at Pinehurst as either fueling him or breaking
