This ain’t 2011. I can rattle off like 15 golfers that I’d say are better than Rory.

I would say 10%, Rory is still young enough to fix his game, but there is enough firepower in the field that could spoil his chances.

Bryson is better with his wedges. Indisputable fact backed up by numbers.

And all have been playing better golf than Rory for the past year or so.

Not sure I agree with that entire list, but if Rory's biggest slump drops him down to top 20, you're not making a solid argument that he isn't a great golfer.

I never said he wasn’t a great golfer.

Not really, JT, DJ for sure. He's had similar or better results as the rest of your list. Sagarin rankings have him ranked 14th so its not like he sucks

OK, my bad for taking this direct refutation of that very specific statement to mean you were at least strongly implying that.

Never said he sucks. I’m not sure you and I have been watching the same tournaments.

Oh so like basically exactly what I said he was.

I mean he’s nowhere near that good anymore. That doesn’t mean I think he sucks.

He’s definitely good enough to win once he sorts out this funk he’s in right now. He’s been close in the past several years, but this year he messed himself up chasing Dechambeau.

He’s a mental midget these days. I would think to task is too great for him to overcome.

he has that kind of talent at his best. He's just slumping bad right now in general. It's not easy to bring it back.
