Law & Order

Because that's always on somewhere.

F1 was on earlier, if you recorded it. It was a very, very boring race. So… like way more interesting than this.

Two shot swing.

I feel deflated at this point

I very much enjoy the hype the broadcast is trying to create using the "you never know" narrative for the last three holes. 🙄

If you take that long to putt Wyndham, you better make it dude!

It's fine. Why do adults fist pump or high five each other? Or get autographs?

Well at least a LIV player didn’t win. I don’t know why I was rooting against Clark, but I didn’t want him to win. I think he’ll be one of those win once guys that we’ll never hear of again.

Classic contemporary major winner. Midwestern/western college education, as wholesome and interesting as a Kia Soul but as reliably American as a Ford Ranger. Probably has a girlfriend called Caitlyn who was on the cheer squad at Oklahoma State. A year later, after his victory...."Oh yeah, that guy. How's his season been going?"

I mean, did you miss the part about how his mom died?

[ScouseJohnny]

Yes. My mother died of the exact same thing when I was 16, and she was 47. That is the absolute truth, not internet forum BS.

What's your point?

That his story is not as typical/boring as you are saying.

That's crazy. But it sums up exactly why I wanted Rors and not Wyndham Bourguignon Clarke Junior The Third

[ScouseJohnny]

The death of a parent at a tender age doesn't make you intrinsically interesting. Lots of people have suffered that.

I have nothing against this young man, and celebrate his success. Many here like to talk about the mythical moving of the needle, and I rather wish Rory would have won, for that reason. The headlines on the back pages of the newspapers would have been more fun. This young man won, such is life - or rather, such is his incredible accomplishment. Good luck to him. Without being callous, I think he'll win as many majors as Danny Willett or Ian Baker Finch, but time will tell. The odd thing is, they stick out in the mind because they were rather unusual - true one-hit wonders. If you'd have asked me to name the 2019 US Open winner I'd have had to look it up - Gary Woodland - an excellent player among many excellent players, who came good for one weekend.
