Well said by Rory. They're not at the US Open because they're a bunch of hacks looking to have a good time. It's a tournament for the best golfers in the world. It's always been known to reward accuracy and mental toughness. That's why a bunch of people will be watching and winner will get a shite load of cash.. If Kevin wants to go home and play a four man scramble with amateurs then nobody is stopping him.

How does that guarantee him doing anything at all this week? It doesn't. Guy hasn't won a major in almost 3 years. With all that talent makes you wonder what the heck he's been doing.





if he hasn't won one in 3 years he apparently doesn't have 'all that talent' ...

I mean, Congressional played significantly more difficult than Erin Hills has this week so he wasn't really wrong.

Can't hold this against Rory. I don't think he was excluding himself from his own remark. I think what he was saying is "this is a Major, we are collectively the best golfers in the world, don't be a bitch (looking at you Na)"

Rory wasn't wrong, dude missed fairways and is now going home.

Don't deny that. I only said he would miss the cut or be insignificant. He was.

Yeah man. He's only ranked #2 in the world.


Agree that he is ranked #2. Just said he would miss the cut in this tourney or be insignificant. Never said he was not ranked #2 in the world.

Seems to me since Rory won the PGA, he hasn't really done much of anything to deserve #2 ranking. Am I totally wrong here?

Hadn't won a major since 2014, and only has 3 other tour wins....

Depends on how much you value winning the FedEx cup. He played really good down the stretch last year. Not so much this year, mainly do to injuries.

well the world golf rankings aren't a poll, so based on their algorithm he has done enough.

Won the FedEx cup last year. Has only played 7 events this year...out of those 7 evens he has 4 top 10 finishes and 6 top 40. US Open was his worst outing this year. Don't know that he should be #2, but the OWGR doesn't turn over as much...until he starts collapsing consistently, he'll stay top 3 or 4 in the OWGR.
