And I remember during COVID thinking, well, if nothing else, like we've lived through one of the sort of, and I don't mean great, but I mean like seismic events.

So if nothing else, we'd get great stories and art and nothing of any worth has come from it as far as I can make out.

It's a little bit worrying only from the point of view that Rory McIlroy is never injured.

You know, he's one of those athletes that doesn't pull out.

I think he pulled out of a tournament a few years ago with a wisdom toothache or something like that.

But, you know, you see how physically athletic he is and he's not like, you know, you see these guys like Cameron Champ who have these swings that, you know, puts massive whip on their back and

Rory McIlroy always looks in control.

And I just mean it's a little bit worrying from the point of view that the back is so finicky.

If you don't mind it, it can kind of get out of control.

Yeah.

And it's a grind as well.

Like people...

you know, you watch the Sunday of a major or whatever, but you have to remember, like, golfers go to the tournament on a Monday a lot of the time.

So playing a pro-am, the day of practice, there's four days to get to it.

And your mindset, like, we're all far more on our own heads than we are communicating with the people around us.

And for golfers, you know, it comes back to the question about, you know, Harry Diamond, people used to question his bona fides as a caddy.

But like, even if Harry is only on vibes, and I doubt that he is, but even if he is only on vibes to be that kind of perfect person who Rory can be himself around,

that's far more important than being able to read a line of a putt a little bit better, you know, because that's what you need to do.

And Murray always has that about him.

Like, you can see he wears it when he's not in a good mood.
