Lots of people creaming themselves over Rory finally getting over the winning line tonight.

Tiger used to do it in his sleep

And why not, he deserved it. I’m sure plenty of people would have been creaming themselves if Tiger had had the same four rounds and came in like that. Doesn’t matter who you like or not, Rory deserves the credit for the win, especially after looking like he was going to chuck it away at the start of the round. It’s bedn a fantastic spectacle of golf.
 
I’m no Rory fan but got to say what a watch that was!!when he’s on his game he can really play and finally get a win again looking forward to the masters should be interesting this year .

fickle game isnt it :)

he was probably a yard from being in all sorts of trouble at 15 and turned it into a birdie with a stunning shot out of the trap, massive turning point but what followed was golf of the highest order and a joy to watch. Been a cracking tournament!

Brilliant last round - shame Rahm and Tommy didn’t get into it but what a round Pepperall - outstanding 2 on 17 and Furyks shot into 18 - brilliant Comp , most enjoyable nerve racking one I have seen for a while
 
It was a brilliant round.

Best golf played by those in the middle of the pack. Credit to Rory for handling the pressure better than the others.
 
Enjoyed the tournament, enjoyed the Sunday. Think the date move was good. It has become a big comp over the years. The top pros will follow the money. Not the usual bomb & wedge fare either.

I am in the camp where I'd prefer the 'majors' not to be fixed to one course. If for nothing else for a break from the stats!

Can't really blame the PGA Tour bigging it up when they keep the events coming week after week.
 
Apparently only the 4th man to add the Players to the Open, US Open & USPGA
 
I've just checked the prize money for this comp 🤑🤑. Serious money and a big deal for someone like Pepperell. (Rory already has plenty but even he must smile at his cheque)
 
Brilliant for Rory and Harry, should silence a lot of critics now given his placing this year so far. It's been considered poor yet most players on the tour would happily take each finish. I hope he can kick on now and get plenty more under his belt this season.

The prize giving was a bit bobbins for such a massive event.

Ah.. missed it... busy checking me bets as I got 2 in the top 10.... BUT.... not Rory.... for some reason I didn't fancy him... Dooh!!
Fantastic event... as many surprises as a round with you :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
 
Didn't get to see any coverage, but heard it all on PGA tour radio as I was driving back home from Kent, sounded like it was exciting and further proves what a great event the Players is.

Fair play to Rory finally getting something done on a Sunday, still not his biggest fan but credit where its due today.
 
Never moved from the tv from 5pm. A great watch.

Didn’t know who was going to win for certain, until Rory’s drive landed on the 18th fairway. (Played here in 08 so always like to watch this event)

Talk of Tiger used to do this, or Rory is this that or the other is all just talk.... lots of great entertainment tonight and some gutsy stuff from many. Nice touch that Jim waited outside the clubhouse to congratulate Rory.

Phew...
 
Hmm, I am so glad that I am in China, and missed out on this completely. Ditto the rugby. If Arsenal had been playing I would have been on a hatrick.
 
Sometimes I really hate this time diff that means the PGA tour is highlights at 5am for me. Looks like I missed some great live action. Well done to Rory, long overdue
