Ciarán Murphy

In ways, he still won it like Rory McIlroy in that he was in the most commanding of positions on Friday evening

and had thrown it away as we say two shots back of Cameron Young within four or five holes on Sunday having led by a record margin on Friday evening McElroy is always going to McElroy basically is what I'm saying

It is incredible, Mick, to think that...

McElroy can win the Masters without anything like his best stuff.

I mean, Friday evening was absolutely brilliant.

Back nine was incredible.

But kind of over the weekend, I mean, he went round in one over, was it?

But like, either way, given all that we've seen from him over the past two decades at the Masters, to think that he can actually go out there and you can look at him and go, God, he didn't really play all that well for large stretches of

of Saturday and Sunday and still win the Masters it's like that thing about you know Kerry picking up Easy All-Irelands or you know the Kilkenny Hurlers like when no one else wants to win it those guys end up winning it and this is a situation actually where that's what McElroy did

Yeah, like a really basic thing of like, you know, it would be terrible for us to not find out how good this kid could be.

And like to just rationalise it like that.

I mean, it's absolutely true.

They're obviously fully formed human beings, you know,

Yeah, I mean, I remember a time when Irish players just didn't play at the Masters.

You know, like the Masters of the late 80s and 90s, there just weren't, Irish players did not play in the Masters.

And now we have McElroy and, of course, we also have Shane Lowry.

Can we, you know... They were thinking... They popped in March.

So McGinley got this information.

He heard this from someone, right?

But that doesn't mean that he has to tell us.
