To help the Rory backers let me say that the Irishman is hopelessly over hyped. I said the same thing about the England cricket team when they lost 3 of the first 7 matches at WC19 and that turned out ok.
+14 after 13 holes. Give it up mate. There's a monthly medal somewhere where you could get competitive in Div2 of 12 with a bit of practice.
Yep, looking good. I have backed two pre tournament Jordan Spieth & Henrik Stenson Will probably add to that after the cut.
To be fair to ol boy Duval he played the back 9 on day 2 in -1. Sadly for him he was +28 stood on the 10th.
Rory can be so frustrating to watch at times. Unbelievable talent, skill and balls but he dosnt half live by the seats of his pants at times and I wish he would just take a step back every now and again... Point in case, he just tries to bomb all of the holes like each and every hole is a birdie opportunity where some holes you just have to take your medicine, accept par, move on. He can do it, we've seen him do it, and I bet he sometimes knows he shouldn't do it, but he does, I think it's in his make-up. He knows that if it comes off then no one on the course will live with him... I also think he dosnt trust his putter like the other top pros do. By targeting every hole to within 5 feet he's saying that I can just roll them in, but you have to be able to knock the 10 footers in as well to really succeed... He'll be back, no doubt there, but it was another display where I'm saying 'Oh Rory, look at what could have been...??' Anyway, it's shaping up to be another top Major... Good luck to us all...
He missed the cut by one and everyone goes on about the opening 8 yesterday. But what about the 4 putt double bogey later on - that was beyond careless and ultimately cost him the shot he needed to be playing tomorrow. Fine player no doubt and should challenge for more majors but he needs to get his head sorted. Far too impetuous.
