This is a pathetic thing to argue about, even for pride. As I said the other day, touch grass.

Seriously, who gives a frick

I argued about it? I just posted Rory was the favorite based on what the broadcast said and lunch came in arguing even though he wasn’t there

You're making the case for Rose being a huge fan favorite by bringing this up, especially considering he lost the playoff to Sergio. Rose winning would have been almost as special from a story line perspective as Rory finally finishing the slam.


5 people in history had won the grand slam before Sunday. Rory had lost heartbreakers at LACC, St Andrews, and Pinehurst. He’s also been a much better golfer than Rose in the last 5 years.

I do think Rose will gain a lot more US support going forward after this Masters.

Reports from everyone on grounds at Augusta said it was clear the gallery was for Rory from the jump Sunday. For him to be clearly the fan favorite even over Bryson says something

I have been to Torrey for the us open, Masters, and Zurich where Rory played

I promise you the “hate” exists only in the depths of social media

When you get out and “touch golf grass” at the events Rory is easily the most loved and followed player besides Tiger. Not even close

You’re making shite up to try and claim you’re “right” again.

Give it a fricking rest man.

Ok

Anyone who has been to a golf event where Rory played, besides Tiger was there any player that was followed like him and rooted for like him?

Bigger question since it’s local, did anyone at the Zurich last year feel the “hate” for Rory?

I’m literally saying fans love Bryson Which is why Rory being the gallery favorite over him says the “hate” is more of an internet troll phenomenon


Rory was trying to do what only a handful of people have EVER done and those handful of people are golf’s greatest players EVER. Augusta fans are not casual golf fans. They knew that history was at stake and were clearly pulling for history to be made.

CBS pretty much stopped showing Bryson the last 8 holes because he was so far back

according to this, CBS showed 69 of his 75 shots

I’m clearly not a rory guy, I would never go heckle him or do some shite where some random other person could identify my distaste for him as a player in public. What an absurd sentiment

Showing every Rory shot helped with the ratings.

In my John Madden voice, Rory is the Brett Favre of golf. He is exciting because he could choke at any minute or also hit that seven iron from 200 yards to six feet over water and drawing it 35 yards around trees.

You do understand that a lot of people liking someone doesn’t mean there aren’t people that don’t like them, correct?

ETA: Again, stop trying to be “right” all the time. It’s ridiculous.
