OT: Masters…who you got?

[storrsroars]

If there was a guy I didn't expect to collapse, it was Åberg. Dropped four shots and probably a half mill on 17&18.

Whatever Rory paid Bob Rotella, it was worth every penny.

(3 minutes later... or maybe not)

Damn, what a choke.
Wife said it was over after the drive, I said I’ve seen him flare into that bunker before.
Gut wrenching

 

[JeannoCT]

Poor Rory.

He looked like me on the 18th going back and forth.

 

[Deepster]

And so much for Bryson. Golfing gods definitely on Rory's side today.

Are they?

 

[HCCForever]

Rory had putts on 14th and 18th to close it out and couldn’t do it.

Reed had opportunity as well missing a few putts after nice chip on 14th or so

 

[Deepster]

He’ll choke. For sure.

 

[storrsroars]

Are they?

TBD. That was posted when that approach on 13 somehow didn't roll into the drink.

 

[storrsroars]

Congrats Rory. Had it all the way!

 

[HCCForever]

Good for Rory. Odd round

 

[Bomber36]

Great stuff. Love the emotion. These guys already have a lot, but the Green Jacket means so much to them.

 

[superjohn]

Good for Rory, he's the best player of his generation. Northern Ireland will be celebrating.

 

[Chin Diesel]

RIP the Rory meme.

 

[Hi-Low]

Wins Career Grand Slam on 11th attempt....joins the immortals. Happy for Rory, seems like a good guy.

 

[Duncan Idaho]

What a round for Rose

The folks at Golf Channel counted him out after the first round. He did a great job.

 

[storrsroars]

He’ll choke. For sure.

 

[DemonDeac22]

Or not…lol

 

[fairfielder]

I love Rory, and his stand against the Saudis. It was his time.

 

[Deepster]

Oh he choked. Four or five times. I’m not sure how you watched him miss a three footer to win and not think that.

Pickleball and Paddleball many years ago, were invented for people, and there are millions of them, who never had the lightbulb go on in their heads, no matter how much they played, about the proper way to hold a tennis racquet, serve a tennis ball, and just basically control the racquet face. Tennis is still king and always will be, and pickleball will grow but I see it eventually going the way that Paddleball and Paddleball courts did back in the 1980’s. Tennis and Golf are very similar in that hitting with power AND accuracy are so dependent on controlling the club face or racquet face.

You're correct in that many pickleball players don't know how to control the racquet face and impart spin but the millions of players who played tennis at a fairly high level rise to the top of the sport quickly. I think it's going to be around for a while. I could still play tennis but pickleball is easier for us seniors and it's way more fun.

True but he also had great shots on the 15th, 17th and playoff. And fortunately for him the playoff hole is all that matters.

Too bad no one took me up on my repeated offers to bet.

If it was basketball he had a turnover, missed a floater and missed a layup but when it mattered he drained dagger three pointers for the win.

You should be happy instead of being so angry.
