Tough finish for Trainer there

[m d g]

 

I don't get it...the no-name guys were so tight.

 

They were playing with house money...they had nothing to lose.

 

I always root for the underdogs, but this was painful to watch...

[aenemated]

My god, that whole effort from Trainer was just ... miserable.

Shouldn't Rory get like 75% of the purse instead of 50%?

 

That's only fair as Lowry will get 75% of the buffet...

Really feel for the guy. You've been in the clubhouse for 5hrs after carding an A++ round. Imagine the mental exhaustion after that, to then come out and face two Tour veterans.

He had 201 the first time ... But Rors' drive was 60 yards shorter this time? 

 

Something doesn't add up in Colt's math.

Looked like he “sliced it”. 290 slice 😂

If these boys don't go straight to my beloved Erin Rose, I'll be sorely disappointed.

I saw Choking Dogs open for the Stones at the Oakland Coliseum in '78...

Not comparing jobs, comparing professional golfers with a ton of experience and two guys who don't.

Just having some fun...but I can't help poking fun at posts describing the 'rigors' of golf with my blue collar childhood...

Great week for McIlroy & Lowry!

[WorkItBothWays]

The inner turmoil Trainer was experiencing manifested itself thru a series of awful shots. He looked absolutely bewildered, tough to watch.

Not saying the outcome would've been different but when these guys don't know the Rules,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

I believe I have this correct.

 

The drop off the cart path was right near a sprinkler head. In fact that sprinkler was right behind his back foot after the drop.

 

a) that sprinkler head was in his relief area and b) the lie he ended up with was pretty flat/bare, something us ams would absolutely hate. Could almost see the chunk coming.

 

There was a bit of "fluffier" grass to his right but it looked to be a little outside his relief area, similar to the lie his partner had in the rough for his 2nd to the par 5 - i.e. almost perfect.

 

However, he took care to drop where the sprinkler head did NOT affect his stance - thus, his ball was in play and he had to hit it.

 

Option - Had he dropped his ball where the sprinkler head would have affected his stance, he then gets relief from the sprinkler, roughly another club further away and very likely within his new relief area - which would've been in the fluffier grass giving him a little cushion to go under the ball w/o chunking it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

A great man once said "Knowledge of the Rules is part of the applied skill set which a player must use to play competitive golf"

 

Right @sui generis     (Geez, I'd better be right this time LMAO)

[WorkItBothWays]

I get the impression Shane is desperate to partner Rory in the RC.

Absolutely love Shane’s Wikipedia picture

Brutal folds.

[peadar]

Has to be hard to come out and play a playoff after a few hours arsing around. 
 

Delighted for Rory and Shane. Crowd favourites definitely won. And they didn’t have their best this week either. 

[CasualLie]

So this is how Rory gathers enough points to maintain his #2 ranking!

 

 That was a painful playoff.

[kmbean]

Rory is great at performing in nothing events.

[doglegs]

Tough getting iced for 2+ hours after playing exceptional and expect to keep it going for one more hole.   A bummer for Trainer and the other low-to-no status guys that could have locked up cards.   The rich get richer...

How many majors, TPC, FedEx Cup...? Enlighten the crowd oh great one...

Zero majors in 10 years sums it up pretty well.  And these were his prime years as well.

Liked Lowry getting the Irish flag back to the crowd, not sure that would be a good thing to be waving around while being filmed standing next to a Northern Irishman, haha.
