Baker in the $50 million?

That just doesn't work.

And I know Baker's not going to want to hear that.

He's had a good run in Tampa.

Now, they lose Mike Evans to free agency, but they still have Godwin, and Ibuka was awesome for half the season last year before kind of fading.

So, I think the Bucs are a contention.

Or it's a celebration.

I mean, this was always the – for a year we've been talking about what could Rory do going forward, this last piece of his career.

And this was a resounding answer because he was never on top of his game and he still won the Masters.

And it just shows – he's cracked the code at Augusta National, but the –

the the grit and the determination and the absence of panic you know i think the rest of us were probably panicking and rory just kept doing his thing like it was a very mature business-like victory and that portends very well as we look forward we've never seen him win in this fashion before not a major certainly

no i mean a little bit it reminds me a little bit of valhalla you know the pga championship he won because that was kind of scrappy and there was a lot of jockeying for position and then rory just just kind of found it on the closing holes and nobody could keep up with him and that was really the case i mean obviously a tough start but

But, you know, he played the last 11, 12 holes and four under up until 18 when things went a little sideways.

But even then, you know, that could have been like a wing foot moment with Phil.

You know, he could have done something crazy, made a mistake, blown the whole thing.

But he kept his cool, hit a nice second shot.

He never looked stressed.

He just...

uh it was just a workman-like victory and we haven't seen that from rory so he's become a more polished more mature more well-rounded golfer and this is this is almost tiger-like he just did what he had to do to win he let other guys beat themselves you know obviously rose went backwards sam burns went backward the only guy who really showed up was scotty scheffler but he was just too far back and rory just he just kind of cruised uh so

Late period Rory McIlroy.
