Happy with today’s outcome. Having said that, for sake of accuracy, Rory had four majors under his belt by 2014 (and still has four) when he started dating his wife. He had 13 overall wins when they married in 2017. Hardly a relative nobody.
Tory will go down in history as one of the best golfers in the world. . And he came from a very poor home, unlike most pro golfers. His dad was the bartender at the country club and his mom was a cleaning woman who worked extra hours so they could afford golf lessons for their talented son,
Great admirer of Rory. My maternal ancestors were from North Ireland too. With no education or money, but lots of talent and grit.
Point made.

He’s been in the game for a while. Made the pros as young kid. He can bomb it. But he was playing agains, in his early year, against guys who couldn’t bomb it the way they do now.
The field has certialy leveled out
And for some reason he can play the hell out of East Lake at the Tour Championship.
