Title: Rory v Bryson Sunday at the Masters
Post by: Reacher on April 12, 2025, 09:05:28 PM
Shaping up to be a historic finish. Ratings for this one will be huge. Reck Gehman (golf analyst) put it correctly. It’s Good vs Evil and both sides think their guy is the good guy. #teamrory

I’m excited. Making some homemade pimento cheese and some direct heat ribs and chicken on the new pit. Actually supposed to be nice weather tomorrow, this winter and spring has been almost as bad as being back in IL.

The final pairing isn't good vs evil unless the good is good Rory and the evil is Rory not having won a major in 10 years. He's playing against himself.
And it looks like it's going to be another gorgeous day at Augusta with little wind.

Former Illini Brian Campbell who was the fringiest of PGA Tour players until winning a very low tier event a couple of months ago is -2 thru 8 with 3 birdies (most of the day in the field so far). No chance to win, but hopefully he can have a solid finish.

Brian Campbell and Hideki Matsuyama the hottest players on the course at -4 for the day.

Tempo should be pleased the Euro Commies are winning and that Trump loving, Saudi Arabia-money-taking punk DeChambeau fell apart.

Thought Rory was dead in the water on a few occasions. Bet he was a little nervous on that last putt.

That shot was sick.

What a crazy day. Never seen such a roller coaster finish.

Didn’t mention the last putt specifically, but I thought it was forthright of him to mention how we was “really nervous” on the first tee. He should hang out with Caleb Williams, he never gets nervous.

Rory has mentioned how he wants to play more like Scottie (more cobservative, limit mistakes). He tried that on several occasions and it generally blew up in his face (13). I could not believe it when he put a layup into Rae’s Creek. Rory was at his best when he just hit golf shots and was all in on the shot (7 iron on 15 was unreal). Wedge in playoff was clutch.

I really feel like this could free Rory up in future tournaments. He had this gaping hole on his résumé and I bet he felt pressure in other tournaments to try to fill that hole to some degree (you only get one shot a year at the only major you don’t have). His legacy is cemented now. Everything he does now is sheer gravy.

And it’s kind of crazy that a guy with his résumé before yesterday “had some ‘splainin’ to do,” but that’s the ridiculous bar we hold to the greats. LeBron trying to live up to Jordan. Rory trying to live up to Tiger. Impossibly high bars.

Yep. Not too much draw to it. Lol
You ? How about if your last name was McIlroy ?

You mentioned the roller coaster finish. That's true for several of the players. After 16, Aberg may have been thinking he might have a chance. Rose fights his way into the playoff.
McIlroy ? Up 4, then tied, then up 2, then tied and heading into a playoff after dropping the lead. Then nails his approach after, minutes earlier, putting his approach into the sand from the same yardage. He must have been a mess going into the playoff and then looking at his approach.

A very entertaining back 9 for anyone watching.

True, but none of them led by multiple shots multiple times. Only Rory. He’s the only guy everyone was thinking (he’s blowing it). Multiple times lol

True also.

McElroy is just lucky Trump is so busy being President or Trump would have beat him by several strokes. Per day!

18x club champion! Probably more impressive than the time Putin scored 8 goals against former pro and high level amateur hockey players!
