Wasting our time discussing professional golf as a whole then by that logic. Might as well shut this thread down.

That's a ridiculous comment.
Our ability has Zero relevance when it comes to judging a professional.
My nan's 86 and awful at sports. Doesn't mean she won't criticise a striker that misses a shot.

Unbelievable logic. Golfers on a golf forum talking about golf and yet criticised for not blowing smoke up Rorys backside.
Yes he played well today, but yet again in a major as a whole he cocked it up. His round today was tied low round indeed but you can't shoot 79 on day 1 and then shoot good scores next day still meaning you miss the cut and not be subject to criticism. It's a 4 round tournament and Rory only gets to play 2 despite the hype again. Decent effort overall but not good enough....

So that's 6 or 7 of you now seem to think that a 65 in a major is decent, cool.
As it happens I've said nothing about his tournament as a whole, unlike you guys, I'm referring solely to his round today, you're all more than welcome to criticise how he's played over the his 36 holes but today in my opinion was a tad better than decent.

Yeah you’re right,Rory turned up today & blew the field apart🙄.
2 other players shot 6 under today & made the cut ðŸ‘ðŸ»
I’ll give more credit to them.
But they didn’t get emotional after their round I suppose 🤷â€â™‚ï¸

You've only watched highlights.
He hit plenty of shots that weren't too clever today.
I've seen plenty if games on motd that look the nuts but we're awful.
Re the 65 the score isn't all that important, it's more how it relates to the field. Plenty of others hit very similar scores. He was above average, but not outstanding when compared to his peers.
If you think that rounds should be judged regardless of the others they've played in a tournament then "that's cool" ðŸ‘ðŸ»

I'd rather have been Paul Casey in that group shooting 70 and knowing I'm there for the next 2 days than Rory shooting 65 and taking the weekend off ðŸ˜

I'm taking this single round alone, in comparison to nothing else and it was, as I have already said, better than decent, seems others have a different opinion, and again I'll say, that's utter nonsense, in my opinion.

Sorry but Rory wasn’t “free wheeling†today and was still under enormous pressure to make the cut alone , that pressure was just as intense as yesterday and it only increased as he got closer , yes he made a bogey but he responded back and even with the shot into the bunker which was inches from being spot on he responded again
Yes he will be massively disappointed with the two rounds together to miss the cut , anyone who saw the interview should understand the pressure he was under and he allowed that to affect him earlier in his first round which ultimately cost him but taking just today’s round in isolation it was outstanding golf , no one gave him a hope of making the cut and to miss out so closely with that fight back showed a lot of character today , even more so was the raw emotion straight after with the interview.

Might see more of people at the top end of the leader board now that Rory isn’t playing the wk end ðŸ˜
I learned long ago not to debate Rory with you Phil so I'll respectfully disagree and bow out here. ðŸ‘ðŸ»

Why did no one give him a chance to make the cut?
We all know he’s capable of itðŸ‘
Sorry but a multiple major/Ryder cup/PGA/EuropeanTour winner, nah I’m not buying the pressure thing.
It’s not like he’s a 18yr old rookie.
Seems like a cop out to me.

So out of the players in contention,who do we want to win it?
I’m going Fleetwood as I backed him.
But if not I’ll go Westwood or Spieth.

Bjerregard of Xander for financial reasons.
Spieth because I like him. I'm not one for sentimental (Westwood).
Lowry would obviously be ideal for the event.
