Rory was just fabulous - 128 over the last 36 holes. Amzing!

But I'd also like to highlight Phil Mickelson's reaction. He shot a great score - 68 - and came second but he was graciousness personified. Offered what looked and sounded like sincere and heartfelt congrats to Rory. even as he must have been gutted, he smiled and offered his acknowledgement of one of the great rounds of golf.

Someone on Sky TV said that a clip of the interview should be taken and sent to YKW.

He was absolutely amazing. He must have talent to get 4 under Mickelson.

P.S. Speaking of Mickelson, did anyone see his right-handed shot on the 10th hole today?

Yeah, saw that. Looked like an ok swing, but the result was kind of blah---bummer to chip out and still wind up in the rough stuff. Still, I'm sure it's better than I can do on my favored side...

Was there again today. Followed Phil most of the day. @ 14 he was 2 behind Rory and made birdie... Looked up and he was now 3 behind with Rory making eagle on hole ahead. After 15, we had to go get a seat at 18 and the final put from Rory was crazy. Everyone went nuts, was a great round. As for Phil, sucks to see him lose after playing a really good round. Great to see him give congrats to Rory, and also saw him picking up trash on the golf course a couple times, with others inside the ropes just walking past it and ignoring it. Great day at the tournament, but man it was hot and humid out there.

Don't forget he is a lefty. It must be a tough thing to pull off.

Oh, absolutely, I'm just looking at the absolute results of the shot objectively. For a lefty to get out to there blocked by the tree like that is a real trick, so all things considered, that's part of why this guy has the wins he has. After all, when you consider that he still had to think about the tree, and had to not only hit the ball with an upside-down club on your off-handed side, but also to hit it straight enough to thread the trees, it's awesome. Still, another 10 yards would've been nice.

But maybe that's tryiing to have a gift horse and eat it too.

Could not agree more, this exactly what I thought, I am liking Lefty more and more he was very gracious in defeat.

I also agree with the comments of Mark Roe on Sky Sports about YKW... As for Rory he showed what he can do when in form, 62 blew me away last night and the way he played "The Green Mile" showed he has the nerve to finish a great round even over some of the toughest closing holes in golf.

I was hoping Phil and Mayfair would battle it out, both being ASU alums, but it was nice to see Rory get his first win. Talented, talented kid. Overall good sunday of golf.

Had Cabrera sunk 5 putts he missed Sunday, he would have a 63 and a playoff chance. Angel may be balding & paunchy, but he can play, too.

Tiger who? Seriously, someone who can't order a celebratory drink in this country yet just shot a 62 to win. Why are people so willing to dwell on the distant past?

Because the past will probably still be whoopin up on this kid until it decides to call it quits.

Who else called the putt on 18. I was watching with my wife who was routing for Rory to choke and Phil to take the tournament. I said "Watch - he's gonna drain it" and he did. Shut my wife right up. Precious......

I definitely called it, I was just thinking there was no way in hell with how solid he was, how much adrenaline was pumping, and how much fun he seemed to be having, that he wouldn't drain that putt. But I also said to myself that he was either going to drain it, or blast it by, no way he'd leave it short with all that adrenaline lol.

I tell you, I would have been more surprised if he didn't make it that 18th putt. Rory is just awesome and true talent.

      Garmin R50 Launch Monitor

      By iacas ·

      You can pre-order an R50 here for pretty rapid shipping (these are back-ordered almost everywhere): https://www.playbetter.com/products/garmin-approach-r50-golf-launch-monitor-simulator?ghref=2301%3A700794. This is an affiliate purchase, and I'm willing to kick back lifetime ad-free Supporter membership here on TST or a 90-minute GEARS session for the cost of a regular member lesson (about 1/3 the cost). Also, I'll record a video myself soon when I get an R50.

      Day 209 (27 Nov 24) - Easy session with the LW - short pitches replicating greens side up and downs. Finished up with the 7i and hard foam balls - making 1/2 to 3/4 swings with deliberately slowed tempo…from varied lies.

      Best Budget Golf Ball

      By NHpro ·

      Yes, this is the 2024 model. DSG ruined what Callaway perfected for most golfers. A darn good 3 piece golf ball. Now it's a 2 piece cheap ball. To me a 2 piece ball is fine and a 3 piece budget ball is better. I prefer a slightly harder ball, something in the 65-75 compression range that will perform similar to the old Gamer. The Titleist tru-feel is pretty good. I planned on giving Maxfli straightfli a try.
