Thanks for having me.
It really does.
I think there's no debate now that if you exclude Harry Varden's seven majors, that Rory is doing something that he had ambitions to do, which is to become the greatest European player in history.
And that's saying a great deal.
I mean, Seve is probably the most important still.
But Nick had the six majors.
That's quite a milestone.
Seve had five.
But I think Rory with six and the Grand Slam settles the argument there.
And I think there's a good argument also that Rory's now entered the top ten all-time of all players.
which, you know, they'll maybe debate about, but I did a little calculation this week, and, you know, it's all subjective.
It's all opinion.
But the players that were ahead of Rory, in my opinion, were at the bottom of the top ten were Gene Sarazin and Byron Nelson.
And I'm a huge Byron Nelson fan.
It's just that he had kind of a short career.
And Gene Sarazin won seven majors and the Grand Slam.
And I think 38 PGA Tour events.
And Rory, if you combine his European tour with the PGA Tour, he has more than that.
At the same time, he's also got the Grand Slam.
And he's just a bigger figure, I think, than Sarazen.
