The only consolation i can take from Rory winning is that that hideous leprechaun is uglier than a bag of smashed asssholes...

Rory brings something young and fresh to golf.  I enjoyed watching him look around after he sunk his final putt to soak in the moment.  It was a great weekend for him, whatever problems he had earlier in the season he seems to have fixed.  It's hard not to like this kid.

I have now decided that it is patently unfair for Rory to have secured help in finding his ball in that tree and that it changed the course of this tournament forever.  I am protesting this win.

Unfair I tell ya!

The trees have had it out for him since the Masters last year! The one got his wrist, this one tried to eat his ball, but he showed them.

I was rooting for Tiger and Phil until this afternoon when it was pretty obvious neither was going to catch Rory unless he withdrew.  Rory has supplanted Keegan in my Top 3, I can't take Bradley's pre-shot routine any longer, especially after watching him for 18 holes on Friday as part of the marque group on PGATour.com

Is almost impossible to restrain from throwing things at your computer screen when watching Bradley in a marquee group. He was in one at The Masters and I was close to snapping my screen in half. And that's coming from a Bradley fan.

I was thinking that I'd see the little green car in your avatar crashed into a fire hydrant with the windshield busted out.   Glad you're still with us.

I thought Rory was in love, and not paying enough attention with golf. I would have never thought he would win, but so convincingly.

Winning by 8 strokes is some Tiger territory there.

Driver: Callaway Big Bertha 10.5* 

3WD:  Callaway Big Bertha 15* / X2 Hot H4 Hybrid
Irons:  Callaway Apex 4-PW Project X 5.5 shafts

Wedges: Callaway MackDaddy 2  52/58
Putter: Odyessey Metal X Milled 1

Fantastic performance by Rory. However, after watching for several hours, I have to admit that this was by far the most boring major to watch this year. Give me a close match with a chance of a sudden death playoff any day. The lack of drama was painful - would anyone besides Rory and his family want to watch a replay? It's hard to get excited about watching a bunch of pros play for second place.

I agree.  It was pretty uneventful - especially after Poulter started to fade.  Rory was rock solid though... The dude played an amazing round of golf.

It's true, and the worse he plays the more times he seems to do it per shot.  It's appears to be almost a form of yips or OCD in his ball address.  Whatever it is, it's annoying to watch for 18 holes, so I won't be watching any more marquee groups with him in it.

    • Day 118 - Spent some time working on the full swing. Need to film some swings for Evolvr tomorrow. 
    • playing with cleveland hybrid irons have friends that use hybrids anyone using hybrid irons or hybrids would appreciate fwwdback
    • I dont know if I really have a favorite, but there are two that have stuck in my mind for a very long time. #15 at Erie Golf course during the Finals of the EDGA Matchplay. Was up early and then lost a few holes in row so the match was close again. My opponent had a short putt for birdie. I hit past hole high, but 35 feet right. I drained the putt and looked over at my opponent who was in disbelief.   #8 at Whispering Woods during another year of the EDGA Matchplay. Was playing a very cocky opponent who made sure to mention on the first tee how many times he won the club championship at this course. I hammered this 30 footer that clanked off of the pin and dropped. My opponent was disgusted and that made me weirdly happy. I went on to win 5&3 or something like that, so that entire day has stayed in my memory. 
    • Day 20: Did 30 minutes after getting home from work, before kid's baseball practice. This session was piecing out the new hip move in transition, doing 2-3 rehearsals from the top, and then hitting a ball from between P5/P6. Did another 45 minutes after baseball practice and dinner. Did 30 more minutes of what I did earlier, and then about 15 minutes of full swings trying to incorporate athletically.
    • Day 296: did a stack session.
