Playoffs at the Masters

[cowboyusa]

Rory is on the cusp of an EPIC choke.

[subterfuge]

Rory’s problem is his putter. Always has been.

Rory played great golf, but also the first to win with two double bogeys? Tells me the field was weak, but why is that, oh, that’s right, lots of the good golfers are on the LIV tour and didn’t quality.

I don't think so. Here is a list of the top PGA golfers who left for LIV (* indicates played in the 2025 Masters, ** indicates made the cut):

1. Dustin Johnson *
2. Phil Mickelson *
3. Brooks Koepka **
4. Bryson DeChambeau **
5. Cameron Smith *
6. Jon Rahm **
7. Sergio Garcia *
8. Joaquin Niemann **

The LIV players just weren't playing well this year.

Also, McIlroy is the fifth player to have two separate eagles in one round and win the Masters. He actually had three eagles overall, which canceled three of his four double bogeys.

You left off Masters winner Patrick Reed who came in sole third this year.

Thanks. I was relying on Perplexity AI. Reed's name didn't come up after several different phrasings of the question.

At this point in time I am not willing to bet the farm on an AI result./LOL

[Political Junkie Too]

Bet the farm? No. Post on FR? Sure.

I know that I will have many FReeper FRiends who will correct my mistakes. :-)
