In the video Rory does look like a wee lad. I’d even say borderline Hobbitish.

Good one Rory, but I bet Kuch tips more at restaurants than you do.

In fact, it looked even worse when they did come out and he tried to explain his decision to tip 0.000000315 % or whatever it was. Hard to defend his stance on that decision and he poured gasoline on the fire with his initial responses.

If he had not won we would have never heard anything it. But he did, and the caddie felt he was entitled to more than what was previously agreed upon. Those are the facts. At least that I am aware of.

He just came off cold, insensitive, and elitist in his approach. Then made himself look worse with the conceded/not conceded putt with Sergio.

Not being a guardian, just a voice of reason and temperance. I could be way off, but till I see more I am not willing to kill him just yet.

Kuch seems like that guy who like,

 

Why should I tip? If they don’t like it

 

Get a new job.

 

Rory? I could see him throwin a c-note tip for on a $100 brunch. Specially if the waitress is cute ; )

 

Tiger? He be like,

 

Wrap up that pancake and give me your number.

Because where Rory is from it is not customary to tip? That is the only way he could tip less than Kuchar.

 

Also, Kuch does not eat out. Too pricey.

[huckitchuckit]

Rory aint scared

Yep. When the vide starts that small lady who’s asking questions totally eclipses him. I thought Rory wasn’t even there for first 5 seconds.

Must be the camera angle, Rory is built like a small line backer.

So is wee man from that Johnny Knoxville show.

from a 1920's college team ...

[CCTxGolf]

Very funny. Kuch laughed and knows it was a clean burn. These guys are friends after all. Super rich friends.

Interesting. So, Rory IS a linebacker after all. Just so happens he’s a linebacker from 100 years ago. Geez, wish the CBS crew would clarify that point.

[GeorgeHWB]

I think any of us would rather have $300k than a witty verbal zinger.

 

Kuchar seemed genuinely amused my Rory's comment so I don't think it hurt his feelings too bad.

[fanofseri]

I watched Peter Kuchar's stomach- turning performance at Olympic and subsequent mea culpa. Don't blame Matt for ending up a sociopath.

By Kuchar you mean "El Cheapo, No Gimme" right?

??

[Christosterone]

Rory, well Played sir!

 

 

[md1m]

I wonder how much of the bonus Kuch will give his caddie. Unless the caddie has something in writing about a bonus my guess is zero. Was a huge Kuch fan before the Mexico incident.

[Fade]

It almost looks like Matt set up Rory as if he was his comedic sidekick. I think Matt has put the 'issue' behind him.

Yup. A couple of multi-millionaires joking about how much money that make. Gotta love it.

The guy had like 20 people over one time. Ordered one plain pizza and had hummus/crudités “platter” the size of a dinner plate.

thats a thrifty SOB!!

[varno]

It started with that ridiculous act he and his dad put on during his first masters as an Am.

 

The second bounce ‘divot’ he argued his ball could make.

 

Caddie payout was just in line with his whole schtick.

 

Do we need to bring up Sketchers?

 

Not a fan, and that’s going to be his legacy no matter how many backdoor top 10s he gets.

I believe he is talking about the El Toucan fiasco.

Sorry, I thought that whole thing went down in Hawaii, I was mistaken.

Love that man. Refreshingly brilliant.

[FEUO]

Well played. I just started coming around to Kuch a few years ago. That tipping situation though. Yeesh. No longer.
