Rory had some unreal approach shots and Bryson forgot how to putt.
I’m happy for Rory but can’t say I was cheering for him in the playoff. Justin Rose would’ve been a great story.
To weigh in on Dutch’s question—- yes, the prevailing narrative in the media would’ve been Rory choked again because that story gets more clicks. Rory’s name gets more clicks period so that’s how they frame it. For golf fans who have watched Justin Rose hang around the top of the Master’s leaderboard for years, that would have been a huge story and just as exciting as Rory winning.
I am looking for the less obvious story. Sometimes it seems like Rory, Scotty, and Bryson are the only golfers the media even acknowledges. The Scheffler mania is out of control for me. I’d like to see him go winless (unlikely) one year after being crowned the best in the game. Right now at this moment i can’t see how anyone can make a case for anyone other than Rory as #1.
