Inexplicably going at the pin on 13 qualifies.

Dude just hit it to the middle of the green and par out. WTF

Never good when it looks bad and then the announcers are like “no it’s worse than it looks”

That escalated quickly.

Like the guys were just saying on TV, I’m shocked that Rory played that as a 3 shot hole. HIs worst case scenario should have been putting the SECOND shot in the creek and playing 4 from there.

I want McElroy to win but a million dollars wouldn’t be bad.

Just mystifying.

Rory’s pilot already gassing up the jet for a quick exit.

Bryson with the last chance for an albatross……..misses

Oh wait, Rory is trying too…….misses

Post by **brian** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:03 pm

Woo boy. If he pulls this out that 2nd shot on 15 goes down in history.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:04 pm

We are getting the full Rory experience today

Five feet away from being the perfect post.

Kind of funny the story when Nicklaus won in 1986 it was like “CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS OLD FUCK WON?’” but Rose is like 18 months younger and that part of the story would be a shrug.

That’s my first Ace I saw live in my life.

ETA: never mind. That was the 2nd.

Yeah they mentioned a few times about Rory would be the second-oldest, and then like... Isn't Justin Rose older than him?

L-Jam3 · Post by **L-Jam3** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:22 pm

In all fairness, 48 in 1986 is a lot older than 48 in 2024. These guys now don’t chain-smoke, for starters.

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:36 pm

I want him to par and bogey so much.

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:37 pm

my boy Aberg is icing the shooter

Giff · Post by **Giff** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:38 pm

He cost himself a lot of money in those last two holes.

I didn’t think Swedes like the sand so much.

wow. Playoff.

I think Rose might be favoured here...

800 years of English-Irish relations about to be summed up

Post by **brian** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:58 pm

Rose is a pretty good dude so this is a no lose result but it’s excruciating watching one of the best golfers ever shit on himself like this repeatedly.

Jerloma · Post by **Jerloma** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:58 pm

Gut wrenching

Rex · Post by **Rex** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:59 pm

I really like Justin Rose. Think he’s had an underrated career, which gets a little less underrated if he wins this one.

rass · Post by **rass** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 5:59 pm

Rose can blow just as well/bad as Rory

But politically, Northern Irish relations are pretty different than Republic of Ireland.

Either winner would have to kneel before King Charles so yeah. Not a valid point.

Depends who personally you ask in NI

Rory plays for Ireland at the Olympics, so I don’t consider him UK.

EdRomero · Post by **EdRomero** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 6:11 pm

So the Nantz story about Rory's dad telling him as a kid to take the only few putts he could afford like the Masters depended on it -- he missed those putts, right?

Post by **brian** » Sun Apr 13, 2025 6:16 pm

Rory becomes first person to win Masters with his own two hands wrapped around his throat for two hours.

All he had to do was beat everyone else with three hands wrapped around their throat.
(Except Rose)

I can’t decide if it’s painful or cathartic to watch him right now.
