Maybe getting that double out of the way early will take off some of the pressure off Rory -

Updating my take after 3 rounds are in: First reason - physical. Rory started to bulk up in 2015. The bulk up got intense. In my view, this certainly affected his game. Was it the reason he hasn’t won the Masters since then? Maybe, but I guess I can’t prove that (jeez), other than pointing to his result-record during and since the bulk up. Fast fwd to 2025 - - it certainly appears he’s tapered off the bulk up? He’s still muscular, but perhaps less so than in the 2015-2019 period. And he’s definitely risen back up to the top of the world. His play so far in the 2025 Masters runs counter to this theory, he’s been spectacular, notwithstanding the 2 doubles in round one. Second reason: Mental - the whole hyper macho aggressive take: 2025 update - I’ll raise my hand, he seems to have dialed it down considerably. And certainly his recent record reflects whatever macho stuff he might have going is not impacting his play. Again - after 3 rounds, playing incredibly. In general, the mental pressure at the Masters is huge on everyone including Rory, and add on his place in history - huge pressure. He’s handling it very well so far. Third reason: “The Power of Stussy”. As folks have pointed out, this impacts ALL celebrities, Rory included. Again - so far, he’s not letting any external stuff impact his play so far. Fourth bonus reason; the clock is ticking: So far so good for Rory. But it will likely weigh in hard as this round goes along. Summary: Nothing really earthshaking here. If anything out of all this would be the main reason if he loses, it would be factor #4 -

So let me make sure I understand right. You joined a forum and created a post with a controversial take plus made multiple claims that are factually incorrect and when people call you out on it and ask you to back up your claims that makes us the auditors and somehow the bad guys? Got it.
