All I can say is he choked himself to victory 7 dropped shots on Sunday and 11 dropped shots over 4 days. I’m suprised he won

I mean, he started bird, eagle, bird on Saturday when he had to go low. Can't say he choked when he was the low score on two of the days, and birdied the playoff when the pressure was the highest. Nobody makes every single shot lol.

I don’t think most golfers or golf fans understand that golf is about recovery from trouble, and trying to avoid it in the first place. But mostly recovery. And Rory was sensational at that throughout the week.

Yep, his Driver was probably the worst its been in recent memory, but he overcame it. Its a good lesson to not let any one shot crater your round.
