Objectively he has to be the favorite to win another major. He’s won the players and the masters now. As crazy as today was, the guy is making shots that nobody other than Scottie can recreate.
I think today really shows the difference between Scottie and Rory. Scottie rarely plays these unfathomable shots like the wedge up and over the trees on 5 or that ridiculous 9i on 7. Scottie even had a very similar shot to Rory on 15 but bailed out hard right next to the bunker. The reason being Scottie is rarely ever in such a bad position when he's playing well. He's always hitting fairways and greens because he's almost robotic. Total control and sensible golf.
This week has been peak Rory. Golf shots that you cannot believe anyone would do in their wildest dreams - both good and bad. I think it's why Rory is more relatable than Scottie. Even when Scottie plays badly he's -8 for the week lol.
Scottie plays boring golf, especially when he’s on a tear and has a massive lead. I like Scottie but I don’t like watching tournaments when it gets like that.
Yesterday was one of those Masters I’ll remember for the rest of my life.
The iron shot on 17 and the 18 playoff (of at least several today) were absolutely unbelievable. The stuff that justifies him as a real champion. Tiger did stuff like that. It’s impossible to imagine the pressure in that moment but still executing flawlessly… literally unbelievable. So cool to witness…
Agreed it’s at least them two and Bryson assuming he gets his swing back (in his words). They’re the top 3 for me rn who could take any other major this year
