And honestly, you didn't see that very often with Rory.

You saw it a lot with Scotty.

You saw it a lot with Justin and a lot with Cam and a few others.

But Justin's playing a really high level and he's definitely got the attributes to go and contender on a Mink and Shinnecock as well.

Shinnecock could be a great place for Justin Rose.

Yeah, but, you know, Justin still shot, what did he shoot yesterday, two under?

Three, two under par?

So the thing for Justin in the next major or the next big event is to get himself in the position after three rounds where one under par will win in the tournament.

You know, it's very difficult when you're four under through nine and you take on a two-shot lead to then go and shoot three under on the back nine to shoot seven under to win.

Much easier.

Although what Rory did was difficult in its own way, Rory shooting level par or one under par was much easier in that sense, you know, because to keep the momentum going is just so hard to do.

So I think the key for the hard thing for Justin is going to be get himself in that position after three rounds.

And then I would have huge confidence in Justin going on and winning.

Yeah.

I think that this is the benefit of hitting the ball as far as Rory does off the tee and having that weapon that he has.

It's because if he's off his game...

He can still get round a golf course like Augusta somewhere around par.

I really couldn't see Rory ever shooting 78 or 80 round Augusta, to be honest, now.

Whereas when a player who hasn't got that weapon off the tee, if they just lose it a bit and they're 3-5 like Shane was or whatever and things start to unravel, it can just happen.

So I think, you know, that's where Rory's just got that separation between him and almost every other player.
