Ciarán Murphy

So there are still targets for him to hit, you know, and I kind of feel like, you know, you were talking earlier about, oh, you know, he can play with freedom now and all the rest.

I mean, he's still, the reaction to the win last year, like that's, that was what was interesting, you know.

Last night?

Sorry, the win last year, you know, that he just seemed so deflated.

I don't think he's going to be deflated for the rest of the season.

Yeah, he's up with that.

Russell Henley knew his role, you know, a bit of a charge, but like, come on.

His eyes are very small and very close together.

I'm just going to say that about Russell Henley.

I never really studied him in depth.

I mean, I know he's a Ryder Cup player.

I know he's number 12 ranked golfer in the world.

He's obviously very good at golf.

But have I really stared at his face?

Have I really committed his face to memory until last night?

I don't know.

He has even more disrespect for Russell Henley than I do.

Gavin there's been a bit said since the final putt on the 18th that this was quite un-McElroy like as Michael has explained there this kind of idea of waiting for everyone else to fall off and just surviving and getting the job done

which is true in a narrow sense when it comes to Sunday, but that is to disregard, obviously, what happened on Saturday and the position that he was in on Friday evening, which was nothing if not Rory McIlroy, like the essence of McIlroy.

So you can kind of get hung up at this idea that, oh, this is a new McIlroy.
