So this documentary was always going to be the definitive article on Rory winning last year's Masters.
And when you're doing the definitive article of something, you have to include all the stuff, even all the stuff that people who follow it closely already know.
So when I turned it on and...
They started off with the footage from Jerry Kelly's show.
And I was like, I've only seen this nine million times before.
Can you put aside what you know personally?
Yeah, I don't know.
I just, I sort of expected that, like, if you asked me to...
write a Rory McIlroy documentary.
That's what I would start with.
But I don't want to see the thing that I would start with.
I want to see a better idea.
But I thought the stuff with Gerry and Rosie were brilliant.
I'd never heard Rosie speak before.
Gerry, I think, stopped doing media a while back.
He just... He noticeably seemed to go back into the background.
And I met Gerry a couple of years ago at Augusta and
such a gent but I think when everybody is asking him about Rory all the time he kind of goes Asher is trying his best you know he doesn't get into it with people whereas this was him speaking very genuinely about what it was like when all this was happening and that story those stories about you know the parents who work night shifts and everything else like it sounds so twee and cliche that you nearly expect that it has been hammed up just for the sake of the McElroy story but it's not and that's nearly the most interesting part of it all because
once they got to Augusta in the documentary, in the chronology of it, I'd kind of, I heard everything after that, you know, I saw it in real life and watched it back.
I even, just for my own sake, I watched the Sky coverage of it there recently, sort of fast forward the three hours and it's so epic, it's worth watching it back again.
