You know, I think what makes a player have a long career is when you're not financially driven on the golf course.

And certainly he's made a ton of money off the golf course, but he he knows the history of the game.

And he became now the tied for the winningest European player with majors.

He tied Nick Faldo six majors and Rory's now got the Grand Slam.

And all of a sudden he said, I'm going to go play.

You know, now he's going to think, can I win?

You know, the two majors that I haven't won twice.

Can I do the career Grand Slam twice?

He's motivated by history.

And Nick Faldo came out, you know, right as he got out of Butler Cabin and shook his hand, put his arm around his shoulder.

That was very meaningful to Rory to have a guy that he was he was trying to reach, you know, his level and he's done it.

And that's the McElroy mindset.

Honestly, you guys, this is... Every time I've played golf with him, and even when he visited Augusta National the three weeks prior to the event, he plays with driver everywhere.

It's a tool for him that if he gets this thing going...

You know, you can't beat him.

And he looks at ways to hit driver rather than not use it.

And I would go back and say a couple things.

First of all, last year when he had his three-shot lead going into 13, he pulled a three-wood out, laid up, and you saw what happened.

He made a double.

This year he gets to 11 and he makes an eight footer for a par.
