Nearly a great return, but double what I laid off Kooch and Rory :thup:

Didn't know that. Because Kooch had his on I thought it was optional.

If Mcilroy gets as many shots at you get he might have a slim chance but even then my money would be on Speith
Nice to take some money off the bookies, especially off Mr Brazil.
Had Rafa as top European & e/w along with Alex Noren so got 3 decent returns 👍

Spieth all day. McIlroy can't live with him on the greens right now.

Fantastic afternoon of viewing. What a fantastic effort by Spieth to dig deep and come back and what an effort by Kuchar. Both were magnificent in their post match interviews, Spieth being humble in victory and Kuchar being magnanimous in defeat

Yip and seems to get flustered on the days his putts aren't dropping.

At Quail Hollow a course that McIlory likes and with thick rough not far from the fairway ?
With Spieth driving being as inconsistent as McIlroy putting then my money would be on McIlroy because think he would get more birdie chances

So how much for H4H you or any of the others who think McIlroy is going to win the USPGA want to have on McIlroy finishing below Spieth. I can't see Rory with the state of his game at the moment challenging and his putting isn't good enough to convert birdie chances

McIlroy may hit more fairways, but not as many more than Spieth as you'd think. But his wedges aren't good at the moment and he misses more greens than Spieth does, and doesn't putt as well

And he's more likely to throw the towel in when things aren't going his way

Frustratingly, he can't seem to string 4 decent rounds together. How many times has he managed a top 5 or 10 finish in an event that he never actually challenged to win? This week was another example.

Did you just have a blackout all week when Rory was teeing off.....??
Or selected memory??
Jeez
The guy sprayed it off the tee as bad as anybody
Lost ball 🤔

In his own words, he always plays himself out of it by throwing in 9 bad holes

Just caught up on the presentation and whoever said it was spot on, what a great speech from such a young man. Respectful and clearly grateful for his position.
Thought Kuch was going to shed a tear when Spieth thanked him for waiting with grace on 13.

Neither of them are perfect and neither will dominate the sport, but they'll both win more majors imo, I just find it odd the discussion becomes a Rory v Jordan when there is so much to admire about them both and so many more great golfers out there.

According to the Open website, Spieth hit 2 less fairways than McIlroy, but 8 more greens.
I don't think I need to look up the putting or scrambling stats.
