You have to limit your mistakes.

You have to make the putts when they really matter.

And maybe there's one or two shots where you just have to go for it.

And those are defining shots.

And I think, like you said, that one on eight was a huge one.

The 12T, 13T.

And it's just, it's impressive.

I mean...

This was a tough golf course, especially on Thursday and especially today.

They softened it a little bit on the second and third rounds, but you can make the argument on, you know, Rory only went on soft golf courses.

Now he seems very comfortable in these really exacting major championship conditions.

And so as his wage game has gotten better, as his putting has gotten more reliable, I mean, he's dangerous every time he tees it up now at the majors.

And so it's fun to think about, I mean,

He's going to go to, he loves his old classic golf courses, Aronamink in Philadelphia.

That's his kind of golf course.

Shinnecock at the U S open.

That's a classic, you know, Roy's a romantic golfer.

There's certain venues inspire him.

I don't think the PGA at Frisco is going to inspire him, but I think Aronamink will.

I think Shinnecock will.
