You DO realize that all of your prior posts in this thread are still there for folks to read?  Put the shovel down.

As to best player not to have won the career grand slam, ever hear of a fellow named Sam Snead?  Or Arnold Palmer?  Or Phil Mickelson?  Or Lee Trevino?  All-time greats who were never able to complete this.  Because it's hard, and not doing it doesn't really say anything about greatness.  Or "demons".  Or being "jacked".

I would say the demons were getting him more than anything. Also, it is just hard to win a major. 

Rory is in ELITE company. Let's say he gets to 7 majors. He's probably the 2nd best player post Jack. I would almost put him above Phil, it would be a good discussion (for another topic than this). 

There is nothing more to say here about it with regards to this thread. Was there a question if Rory would ever win the Masters, absolutely. Now that it is off his bucket list, he solidified himself as the third best golfer of the post Jack Nicklaus era currently. 

Anything else would just be continuing on with an argument that has no merit anymore.
