Absolutely. Putter for him has always been key. I see some improvement in the partial flighted wedge dept as well. I love watching this Rory. The 3 putt , missing greens from 105 Rory needs to stay away for good now.

If he beats Xander by two he wins both the gross and net club championships......so he's got that going for him......which is nice.

Good observation about those sawed off wedges.... he's stuck a couple of those right next to the pin today and this weekend.

Rors is the world's best player after it rains, might be the best player in the history of Golf. That is why the Masters this year was so disappointing for him, it was was set up perfectly for him to win and he didn't.

Just sayin ; )

 

Nice, Rory.

So Brooks was indifferent all the way up to the point where he started losing the tournament... or after?

[bladehunter]

Rory has some grey wings coming through. Looks more like Tony Jacklin everyday. Lol.

Brooks is indifferent about $15M??

I love whenever he doesn’t win a tourney it’s because he “didn’t care”

[Pent08]

Congrats Rory... youz a bad man!!

[tiderider]

NY fans: USA! USA !

Atlanta fans: Rory! Rory!

 

 

[DatSliceDoe]

Big win! Format change made next to no difference when you score like that.

He looks like he’s 60

[Darth Putter]

3 wins on the PGA Tour this year for Rory and that is #17 overall.

That ties him with Curtis Strange, Jim Furyk, Jug McSpaden and Bobby Cruickshank.

 

Only 48 men are ahead of him on the all time wins list.

[aenemated]

Awesome. Love it when Rory pulls it off.

brooks is full of it when he says 15 large doesn't matter to him, but this is certainly not a major, or a Players ... maybe not even a WGC ...

[Frasier Crane]

Hell yeah... great stuff from Rory. Revenge on Brooks was on his mind. Also interesting he admitted how he didn't "take the fight" to Tiger last year.

[TheMoneyShot]

Well done Rors!

Clearly didn't have A game and knew it. Was doing his best to hang on and still walk away with 15 mill, Rors played better, don't pretend this was major like. Koepka was holding on the whole playoffs, you could tell and I bet if you asked him he would say it as well.

 

Congrats to Rory

[bscinstnct]

Mrs Rory like

 

Do you have a motorboat with 3 propellers?

[Darth Putter]

Rory won both tournaments.

 

[phfat]

Good for Rory. Good guys don't always finish last...

[SCalGolfer]

A PGA Championship would have been much better. This tournament is totally manufactured. East Lake is not my favorite track. Oh well, the tour prioritized dollars over quality. It is what it is.

[idrive]

Thanks for making my day Rors.

[tiderider]

decently tough course at -13 for the real score ... not the best looking track, but it was tough enough to prevent -20 ... and forced several to finish over par ...

[farmer]

Rory in full flow is something to see. Well done.

[Darth Putter]

If the money was official, Rory would have gone from #11 all time with $48,000,000 to $63,000,000 and #5 all time passing Dustin Johnson.

[dmecca2]

I heavily criticized this format and called it the dumbest thing I’ve ever seen. After it’s all said and done, I will admit I was wrong. This worked out pretty well. Idk if it’ll turn out this great every year, but it definitely worked well this year.

Or typing on an internet forum.

Glad for Rors.

I agree. We got the best golfers all year long when it counted. Keep the format!
