I think the media was too quick to start the Rory vs. Jordan conversation. My guess is Rory thought so too. Tomorrow Rory will turn up the heat.

Well the golf media really wants Speith to be the next Tiger as far as captivating fans.  Seems like a nice, mild mannered player who would get the good guy award every year if they had one so as to market the hell out of him.

I haven't taken a look at the stats, but Rory looked very VERY good. He looked like a player that could have easily shot -5 or -6 today. Just needed a couple more birdie putts to go in, and less hitting of sprinkler heads.

I'm stickin with my boy, smell a great round tomorrow. Although, Rory is just cruisin right now, could be the start of one of his streaks which should alarm the whole field.

Sorry for the multi-post, just saw this. I don't think they were quick at all. I projected this rivalry some time ago. Seems the media didn't jump on this story til Spieth hit #2, which was probably about right. Come June, I have a feeling there will only be 2 guys holding the current major trophies. Would be nice if it were 2-2 but I'd be happy with 3-1.

I doubt that is going to happen. Rory and Jordan are 1 & 2 right now but I don't think either is so much consistently greater than the field that so as to take all 4 Majors.

Well, it's a gut feeling, much like the one I had last night that Spieth would spank Rors today so it's pretty damn reliable.

Have a nice weekend Jordan.

Haha, he just needs a couple birdies to make the cut!

But yeah, Rory has kicked his arse thus far.

He has some serious frowny action after stubbing that chip. YIPS!

Too bad would have been nice to see him with the leaders.

Rory McIlroy. -4

Jordan Spieth. +3 (MC)

Rory wins the 2 round pairing, and also outshines Jordan in hair at 21 years old. Funny quote below the pic.

I have absolutely no logical reasoning for this, but seeing Rory with a Titleist makes me smile. Wish he was still rocking the Titleist gear.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Fatigue finally caught up with Jordan -- not the same player we've seen.

It was only a matter of when, not if.

      2026 Masters

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html

      Playing Arrowhead Colorado for the First Time

      By MentalityJohn · Posted

      I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
