I see Rory choked AGAIN
But on here
He won't have choked, or Bottled it
Instead, he will be deemed to just not played his best
He's thrown away so many winning opportunities, it's unbelievable

A maiden tour win for Rose Zhang
I think she may be quite good

Also a lovely fall-back when you bugger everything up. It wasn't my fault - God did it.
Clarke, Hodges, and Matsuyama out bottled him though. So he didnt even win that element.
Not sure you mean that tongue in cheek or not, but whatever ones views on religion, I think it is a genuine strength for a sports person to have that mentality. Atheists carry the burden of knowing its all their fault !

Yeah, really I'm just jealous.

True. But atheists also have the gift to know when things go well, it is all down to their own hard work and ability
I think the believers claim the credit for things going well too. God has fairly rewarded their hard work. Its a win win.True. But atheists also have the gift to know when things go well, it is all down to their own hard work and ability
Seriously though, I think it does give them a mental fortitude benefit.

I’m not interested in a debate about choking, but do you think Rory was actually playing his best golf for the first 3 rounds?

Maybe keep the religious stuff to another thread
Anyway - saw Rory was just behind the leader , fell asleep and saw he ended up a couple back , can see this his game just isn’t there at the moment , every now and then he has bursts of great golf .
No surprise to see the standard bottler remarks from the normal
Great win for Hovland though

Not at all. Round three he was a cliche of himself, with beautiful drives and poor short approaches. And seems to have a mental block about it. Post round interview, he was on about how he wanted to put the ball in the fairway, and had done that. That wasnt the issue...again.

Personally I think he's thrown a lot of them away because he isn't playing great golf and at some point over 4 rounds it catches up to him. The one I thought he was playing well and would win was The Open last year but when Cam Smith holes about 900 feet of putts and all yours burn the edge there is not much you can do. I said to my bro in law yesterday before it started that I thought -8 would probably win it and Rory won't win it because his poor play is going to catch up to him eventually on that setup.
The PGA was the same, he didn't play great but managed to hang around somehow.
With that said there might be something going on between his ears with his wedges and putting. How one of the best ball strikers can't control a 110 yard wedge shot is mind blowing to me. If you give him 3 goes you could get a 109, 98 and 120, I'd expect that from me, not from him.

People forget Rory did not come second but third at the Open.

I know Cam Young came second but Rory's "pitch" into the last looked like someone who wanted to hole it, he wasn't bothered about making birdie to tie 2nd. Both the Cam's played brilliantly on the last day though, he was just beaten by the better men on the day.

Hovland just continues to be great.
Ranked 5 in the World and made 9.4m USD this season so far...
Today he is Caddying for his old college team mate over 36 holes as he attempts to qualify for the US Open.
He won the Memorial tournament less than 15 hours ago....

What a great story. He seems to stutter a bit in the majors but he's still so young and you know he's going to get over it soon and win one. He's too good. Funny swing too, almost looks like an over-the-top move, but it works - I do love a pro with an unusual swing.

It’s funny re his swing, many teaching pros try and teach you the perfect swing yet how many tour pros do you see with textbook swings
Love to see Hovland win a major
