He's only going to join more elite company over the next few years. You gotta think all that pressure he's been carrying for 11 years now is gone and he can just play free.

Well, it seems 4 rounds may be too much for Bryson at this point. He looked like a club pro out there today.


Was it the 4 rounds or the 1000 balls he hit on the range over the week?

Yes?

I’ve come around on him, but he’s still a psychopath.

It was Rory not talking to him during the round.

Frankly, for Bryson, it's not the format but rather his iron play finally caught up to him. Didn't want to get over my skis after yesterday, but he was really hitting it like shite all day yesterday and managing to get the ball in the hole from everywhere. That really isn't sustainable at Augusta.

Reminded me a lot of Molinari at times in 2019 (especially the front on Sunday) - clearly didn't have the ball-striking to win out over 72 holes but was keeping it above water for long enough to seem like he was contending.

I just didn’t think he’d hit it that shitty 2 days in a row, but not only did he do that, he hit it worse today than yesterday. When he was only 2 back at the conclusion of play yesterday, with how well rory played and how bad Bryson played, I thought they’d both come back to the mean giving Bryson the advantage. Especially with Rory’s recent history in those pressure cooker moments

it was nothing like Molinari. In the 2018 Open and 2019 Masters he was steady eddy, never made a mistake...until #12 at Augusta. Bryson was making mistakes all over the course yesterday and then would pull off a miraculous chip or long putt to bail himself out. Molinari was never putting himself in trouble for those two majors. When he finally did, he folded.

Molinari hit the ball terribly on the front nine in 2019 on Sunday (not talking about the British in 2018). Go back and watch that round again if you get a chance. He was lucky to be within 2 of Tiger at the turn (who was hitting the ball very well), much less still ahead of him. Put himself in a terrible spot behind 6, kept bailing himself out with mid range putts, etc. It finally caught up to him because Augusta is going to eventually get its due if you are sub-optimal between 125 and 210.

I'm very happy for Rory. I didn't have high hopes when it went into sudden death. I thought, "here we go again. . ."

And, I've forgiven him for the whole Caroline Wozniaki mess.

I wonder what you are to him... I bet he doesn't think about you at all.

So you think a Grand Slam winner is an errand boy? You're really smart.

I swear message boards have screwed up so many brains.... you people are ridiculous.


If you would like to be more specific, Alfalfa actually said he felt like Monahan's "sacrificial Lamb."

I was just being kind. I'm just that way I guess.

I edited the crap out of my post..

I'm done here. I'm not in the mood to argue this stupid crap. I don't care if you don't like some golfer.

Think I'm just sick of this message board and the people posting here. Nothing but negative bullshite day in and day out.

Can't even have a thread congratulating a Grand Slam Champion without dickheads piping in with their bullshite feelings.

Yeah, you got called out in a post. I wonder why... probably because you talk shite about McElroy non stop for some reason.

Just stick to giving your opinion and stop worrying about monitoring others' thoughts. Live long and prosperous.

The pearl clutching over people not liking Rory McIlroy is legitimately one of the strangest things I’ve ever seen.

You, as an Auburn fan, routinely root for college athletes to fail based on which school they chose. You want your rivals to lose because you don’t like them. Yet, because some people choose to root against a professional golfer you, along with many others, are losing your minds.

It’s strange and the hypocrisy cannot be overstated.

Dude, this has nothing to do with Rory for me. He just happens to be the topic here.

This is about people bitching about every thing in the world and turning everything into a useless argument.
