What a great putt to win it![]()
It was his approach play that let him down, if you had to pick something. While it wasn't great, though, he did get it to two playoff holes! His short game was phenomenal, as was Billy's putting. Unfortunately for Rory it came down to a putt-off rather than a chip-off!Brilliant 2 days at Wentworth marshalling and now on a packed bus back to Ascot. Seen some breath taking shots and managed to bag a spot close to back left for the play off holes. Some putt by Horschel but felt Rory's got the slightest bobble off the face but could easily be still playing now. Not been a McIlroy fan for the way he loses tournaments from strong positions but seems from what I've heard he's been playing some great stuff around the greens. Was his iron play bad or did he miss drive?
Someone at the club said he was something like 46th on the PGA stats for iron approaches according to commentary. Not sure if that was accurate as he is surely better than that across a seasonIt was his approach play that let him down, if you had to pick something.

49th according to the PGA website, across the 2024 season. Commentary raised this just as he hit a poor approach on about 13/14.Someone at the club said he was something like 46th on the PGA stats for iron approaches according to commentary.

Ive said it every year the Liv Team Championship is the best Liv Event to watch.
You just cant beat matchplay golf and this last day with all 4 scores counting means the swings and roundabouts can be huge at anytime.
2 holes left, any team can still win this...
A tricky one, can understand the focus on the top bracket, showing as much of them as can. Lost count of how many times the lead changed.I'm not sure they've got the format just right for the Team championship yet, I'd like to see the other teams that aren't fighting for the title still being shown on the pylon, but this is so close at the end - incredibly tight.
Does that indicate how good the others are or is he actually missing so many greens. Guess a little from column A and a little from column B49th according to the PGA website, across the 2024 season. Commentary raised this just as he hit a poor approach on about 13/14.
Scheffler is number 1 in that stat. If rory wants to compete...........Your approach sets up your putt. Better the approach, the more chance of making the putt etc. It's a pretty key metric, which is why the commentators were making a big deal of it.Does that indicate how good the others are or is he actually missing so many greens.

Surely that applies even down to handicap golfers. Hit more GIR's or at least get as close as possible to give yourself the best chance of a par (or one putt birdie) or making a simple bogey (perhaps net par for many)Scheffler is number 1 in that stat.

They quoted Dustin Johnson who realised that was his weakness and became obsessive about his wedge play.
