The Masters 2025

Except the difference is maybe just that Rory wouldn’t have done any media at all — just like he didn’t after his disappointment on Day 1 (source: No Laying Up) and he didn’t when he failed to win at Pinehurst No. 2 in the US Open

No value judgement, just the truth

Can't blame him, he's been getting asked the same question for 11 years. If I was in his shoes and I'd just suffered yet another heart breaking loss I'd be skipping media as well or I'd likely commit GBH.

Lowry was spot on when he said that players should be given an hour after the round to cool down and collect their thoughts before a microphone gets shoved in their faces.

Is Rory nailed on for BBC Sports Personality this year?

Yup, and a knighthood.
I love Rory to death ............................. but a knighthood, really?

I think it largely depends what else happens in sport across the year. Golfers don't tend to do brilliantly at SPoTY.

Nah went straight to the interview to twist about how rory didn’t talk to him all round

If he was offended by McIlroy not talking to him all round, it is a good job he wasn't born 15-20 years earlier and was paired with Tiger Woods in the final round of a Major. He would be sobbing into his caddy's shoulder after a few holes.

Just saw Bryson's interview.

All I thought was that, had the roles been reversed and McIlroy gave that exact same interview, the knives would have been out for the McIlroy haters.

At least he stayed around to be interviewed

Give ower man Bryson notorious for not speaking to the press in the past

 

[Swango1980]

Only seen the first half, but I quite liked Harrington's thoughts on The Masters

Definitely not since he moved to Liv and chilled out a lot.

And that'll be because he has to grow his "brand"....

Certainly the biggest chance for a golfer for a while now

Its hard to fake that constantly .... He's just a nice guy

All getting a bit sour now all because someone doesn’t want to talk to a journalist who 9 times out of ten are lower than a snakes belly

So is Rory - without the marketing and branding and you tube videos

BDC is a decent guy - he also markets himself very well

His shot on 7? The one where he was behind a tree was ridiculous no one could hit that shot … count how long it takes from impact to landing …to travel 150 yards or whatever it was unbelievable

The noise I made when that ball landed can only really be described as a squawk

So did Bryson talk to Rory all round?

One other positive about The Masters is for four days I don't think I watched the news. We were in a lovely Augusta bubble. Sad it has to end and images of Ukraine and Trump etc back on the early evening TV.

Thankfully I watched it on repeat today again so can ignore everything else

Sister in law just text to say San Diego experiencing big earthquakes. Protect yourself warnings issued. Sadly Ukraine will rumble on and on with more innocents killed
