That is just his style, he has done that for as long as I have watched him. Sometimes he is annoying and sometimes he has some good info.

I like listening to Brandle Chamblee, he was a good player but an even better student of the game.

It's seems like recently he's come across as a know-it-all with all the inside info.

And Brandel needs to take deep breaths more often.

I'm not basing this off of one good week. Go back to the last 2 years and look at where he has had some great rounds to show his potential. But more importantly, I think his bounce back after the Masters proves that he will be the man to beat for the next 10 years. I'm not sure if him being "the man" starts now, but the 10 years from his mid 20s to his mid 30s.

Paddy Harrington agrees with this


My point is that majors are hard to win. Rory has one. Great for him. Lets just see what happens in his life and game over the next few years. I think he wins 3 career majors you say he will win more than most anybody to play the game. This argument will take years to decide. Let's just agree to disagree

I agree with this statement. Ernie Els says hi, remember when everybody crowned him the next Nickalus and how has that worked out? Sergio says hi. David Duval says hi and so on.

Rory has one in the bag with the potential to win more. Now if that happens or not will be fun to watch.

None of those guys were 22 when they started winning majors. None of those guys completely dusted the field in a US Open. How many of those guys have held a 4 stroke lead after Saturday of a Masters when they were 22? How many of those guys shot a 63 at St. Andrews in a British Open when they were 21 years old.

I know we won't settle this argument in the next 20 minutes, so I will just agree to disagree with you guys. But some people just have it, and this dude has IT!!!

I agree that he has "it" ..... Will have a great career ... What we just disagree on is that he can have "it" and have a great career and not win double digit majors. We will probably never see that agin in our lifetime.
