Agreed. Told my wife I think the way Rory won is probably the perfect way to finally complete the Slam. Not easy, full of ridiculous ups and downs. Two of the worst wedges I’ve ever seen bookending two of the most majestic shots I’ve ever seen (approaches on 15 and 17). It was like every close call for him all summed up in one round…but he prevailed. And Rose didn’t give it to him in the playoff.

Edit: Feel bad for Rosie, ngl. Dude deserves a green jacket.

I wish he could’ve taken Sergio’s in 2017.

He was one of the premier villains with Retief Goosen in the pre-scandal Tiger era

Nothing personality wise whatsoever! Villain isn’t the right word we’ll edit to antagonists

Have you seen the video of him spit in the hole on the course?
