As an aside, if you were Morikawa's caddy and he said, listen, I still don't feel good about drawing this in.
I mean, surely the advice is, well, let's avoid the bloody water.
Just hit it straight down, you know, right of the green and we'll try and chip on a maker four.
And we might do it two days out of four.
And let's be sensible about this.
And a last one, people will remember famously Martin Keimer with Augusta in mind throwing one of the great games into flux as he chased a draw and found it very hard to disentangle himself for a while afterwards.
How difficult, technically, emotionally, spiritually, how difficult is it for someone like Marikawa, hit that beautiful, you know, borderline straight fade to learn how to hit a reliable draw, really?
It's so interesting.
Long may it continue.
I mean, what a grim spectacle the game would be if those stats guys were right and that kind of funneled right the way through every tournament and every venue.
That would be a depressing thought, wouldn't it?
Yeah, and maybe the stats guys are right over the course of a season and you'll make marginally more money.

So Rory last year, I mean, a blind person could see that he was in great form, that the stars were aligning and he won at Pebble and he won at the players and Scotty was out of form and oh my God, this could be it and it was it.
A more complicated picture this year, he was second at Riviera and I guess at that point was threatening to kind of get on a roll again and obviously that hasn't happened and he's had the back injury and then
We're now looking at a three-week break.
So that's kind of hard to read.
Equally, for the first time in a long time, he's coming in here with a little bit of freedom, just a hint of freedom on those shoulders.
