Rorys last hole in the Majors 2016

I think it's very worthy to bump this thread after last nights stunning golf

The amount writing of Rory was ridiculous

He showed again that when on form he is streets ahead of the rest

He is clearly a streaky golfer yet when he does have a lull too many are quick to write him off

Hardly streets ahead though Phil he could have lost quite easily if Chappel never messed up.

Tiger was streets ahead theres a big difference.

If rory plays his best and everyone else plays their best, Rory would win EVERY single event by at least 4 shots.

Rory will undoubtebly win more majors and he is working hard on his putting, but did you actually watch last night because on the broadcast I watched he was never streets ahead of the rest, he played great as did Chappell and Moore and DJ went the other way, until the 2 on 16 I doubt anyone thought he could win,
Moore and Chappell pushed him close, agree with your posts about Rory winning again, but no way was he streets ahead last night.

Fully agree.

I think it shows what most say. When Rory putts reasonable well he will always be in with a shot. But most would agree that holing out from 120yards is more luck than skill.

That being said, was glad to see him win as good for rider cup and he's always said he wanted to win it.
 
Wonderful to see Rory firing on almost all cylinders, save a few putts. A quite majestic sight which shoves the opposition into the shadows when it's on.

Just goes to show the difference a few weeks makes and a little confidence on the greens. Hope he keeps the improvement up, works on his wedges some more and loses the sulky behaviour. He could go places.
 
Stunning golf played by Rory. Some of the shots he played gave me goose bumps! And to think I had the audacity to critise him on this forum.

I am ashamed of myself. Rory is on a different level when he plays like this but of course he cannot always produce it. I will have to live with that and wait until he does!!!
 
Tiger's shortgame was way ahead of Rory's at his best and Rory's obviously struggled on the greens in the last couple of years but I think the biggest difference is the rest of the field. Tiger wasn't just good on his own, he was playing against a field that wasn't as good as it has been in the last 6 or 7 years. If Rory and Tiger were the same age now, I think they'd be roughly equivalent in success.
 
Didn't see it but he's clearly back to something like his best the last few weeks. He has so much success and wealth already for one so young, you've got to hope he stays motivated, get the impression with him sometimes he'd rather be somewhere else particularly if he's not hitting it as well as he can, he's not a Harrington style grinder, only A game or no game so its top 3 or nowhere usually.
Should do well at RC shortly.
 
It's funny that this was the thread you picked to bump when this thread was about making the wrong decisions at the wrong time and his caddie never appearing to add anything or help him make better decision, as last night was the first time I have seen Rorys caddie disagree with him, it didn't make any difference as he played the shot he wanted anyway.

As for Rory being streaks ahead of everyone else he is someone who when he puts 4 good rounds together he wins no one else gets close.

He is the closest I have seen to Tiger, the big difference though was in his prime Tiger makes the putt on the first play off hole.
 
Just loved his low punched long iron under the branches of the tree and over the water second time they played the 18th in the play-off holes. Caddy clearly wanted him to simply hit a sandy wedge over the tree - Rory's reply was that he didn't fancy it, even though it was clearly (to this viewer and obbviously his caddy) the easier and much safer shot.

Interesting point - he's actually had 12 top 10's in 2016, same number as Jason Day with the same number of wins (3), from the same number of starts (20).

He was streets ahead the last few hours I watched. In reality he should have had it wrapped up in regulation play. Apart from that par 3 he was by far the strongest player in the play offs as well.

Not quite correct in what you say.

They obviously have already discussed the shot Rory ends up playing but just before he does JP actually suggests "another option" which Rory dismisses straight away so actually far away from "clearly" going for the safer option.

It was a risky play but Rory obviously fancied he could pull it off and ultimately has the final say and its also obvious that JP understands that.
