Yep.

Sudden Death Playoff after missing that “should’ve been” winning put.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Rory’s shots today have ranged from the ridiculous to the sublime. But that merely exemplifies golf itself.

[Fledermaus]

I swore he’d make that putt

About time we had a golf thread on FR. Thanks.

Golf is the only sport I watch on TV, love the game, took lessons and flunked.

Game today was breathtakingly close, glad Rory won. Beautiful wife and precious daughter were there getting big hugs from dad.

Just curious, is Rory’s current caddie the same one he was leaving his wife for?

Rory’s mistake in the round was to try to play conservatively and protect the lead. He is an aggressive player, and if he’s not attacking his game falls apart.

Bill Murray’s entire iconic “Cinderella Story” monologue in Caddyshack was improvised. This you may have heard, but Chris Nashawaty, in another excerpt on Golf.com from his upcoming book on the making of the movie, sheds a little more light on the scene. First, this is all that was in the script regarding Carl Spackler’s Masters moment. SCENE 244: EXT. CLUBHOUSE (SAME DAY—LATE AFTERNOON) The sky is beginning to darken. CARL, THE GREENSKEEPER, is absently lopping the heads off bedded tulips as he practices his golf swing with a grass whip. After making the directorial decision to use mums instead of tulips (a good one, as they explode in a cloud of petals at impact), all Ramis asked Murray to do was to do some imaginary commentary, giving an example of how he encouraged himself when running by pretending he was announcing his performance at the Olympics. The iconic improv wasn’t something refined over multiple takes, either: As Murray told Nashawaty, “Improvising about golf was easy for me. And it was fun.”

Rory did it! Congrats!

Question. Rory is Irish. Name is McIlroy. Mc is Irish. But it is pronounced as ‘Mac’ which is Scotish?

Why isn’t his name pronounced Mic Ilroy?

Rory made an interesting observation as he sat in Butler cabin before getting his green jacket.

“I was wondering what you guys will talk about next year.”

They won’t have the go to line of whether or not Rory will win this year and join the group of players to will all four majors.

He made it *tough* on himself - and on his fans! I am very happy he got it done. Much the same as when Sergio finally won a major.

(I still hate that Phi Mickleson blew a 2 shot lead on the final hole at Winged Foot in 2006 and never won a US Open)

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.
