2019 The Players Championship

Great story going into Augusta now;)

[OldTomMorris]

A lot of people were feeling really good about Rory at Augusta before today. Hard not to pick him now.

 

The driver (accuracy) is the key to him winning at Augusta, Sergio and Bubba are proof you don't need to be a great putter to win there. Too much is made of Rory's putting when his driver is by far his most important club.

[HitEmTrue]

So it was said a few times that Rory has 15 PGA wins now. Great resume, and all that. Was he not allowed to mention non PGA wins?

[Hawkeye77]

OMG, Tim Finchem is going to be a dead ringer for Bilbo Baggins in a couple more years!

True. Though even if he has his B game, he can win.

Now that is too funny, lmfao...

[imakaveli]

Awesome tournament

 

Agreed what a great and compelling regular PGA Tour event, loved it!

Also, poor Shipnuck, top american was the Captain :D

One thing that stood out to me as I watched Rory walk off the 18th green we're all the fans who were holding their hands out to shake. Rory snubbed about 98% of them.

 

He might have been tired, emotionally drained.

 

Lot of pressure from a lot of people.

[JonnyKrasnodar]

That drive on 18 followed by that 8 iron at the flag. Where have you been Rory? Good to see him letting go like he used to.

 

Interesting comment about what Derek Pugh said to him during the practice rounds too.

I don't blame him. Why do fans expect high fives?

[JonnyKrasnodar]

Also Eddie Pepperell outside bet for a Masters. Really good golfer.

Good win.

[BKN1964]

So Rory's caddie gets to keep the bag , free Buffett and gets a $20 bill?

I was thinking he had to sign his score card. And maybe he does not like Floridians?

No that's just for the players. Sorry

They just spent $500 ...

This I don't see. Golf is hard, and there are a lot of good players at the moment. I imagine he is drained from this.

 

We'll see if he can keep this up in the next few weeks.

Saw him actually touch a few hands during the round. Had his ball in his left hand after 18, needed to sign his card, touched a palm or two later in the walk. No big deal - Furyk didn’t slap ‘em all either - kill him!

 

McIlroy is the guy you’ll see once in awhile during a tournament reach out to a kid or two more often than just about anyone else.

Some impressive stats for sure!

[BB28403]

Dang Jordan has more wins than Sergio. That’s so laughable

 

Jordan should just start and end every press conference with

 

Ask Sergio how many wins I have. Mic Drop

 

And Justin Rose should be asked every single time

 

Justin, do you feel bad such a young player has more wins than you? Not to mention 2 more majors than you, not to mention won your countries largest tournament, while you never have?

Are you crying Justin?

[NoodleSalad]

Also, poor Shipnuck, top american was the Captain :D

 

He seems happy with the result. In any case the truly important tournaments are coming up and we know who tend to win those :D

agreed. Can’t please everyone. He can stay around and sign autographs for a half hour after his round and there will still be people left disappointed.

[Whitetail]

Lost a little respect for bones caddying ability today.

He Questioned Rory hitting driver on 16. Who then proceeded to hit it 345 which gave him a short iron into the green.

Bones then questioned the yardage Rory got from his caddie on 17 implying he gave Rory too much club. Rory barley got it to the green and a fair amount of players came up short down the stretch.
