What this guy is doing is absolutely remarkable that he's come from a tiny place in Northern Ireland is remarkable as well.

What his parents have done is unbelievable to work as hard as they did to sacrifice as much as they've done and still seemingly not burdened him with too much pressure.

Like the amazing little tidbit in that Amazon documentary is that Jerry McElroy would change the scorecard.

So a par four, he made a par five.

So Rory would come in thinking he made birdie and feeling great about himself.

Like there's that lovely little flick of this is a place where you need to feel good and positive about what you're doing to excel.

There's a great lesson in there for sporting parents.

So, um, I, yeah, look again, like I was, and again, to melt listeners with the smugness emanating from Augusta, but walking up 18 yesterday with another Irish journalist to turn around and said, like, lads, we are, aren't we so lucky to be here and be following this guy at this time.

And it's true.

Like, you know, I know we're trying not be fans of typewriters and God knows macro is not perfect, but, um,

to be able to watch this guy play, to chronicle what he's doing, is unbelievable.

Oh, same thing as happened last year, I think, unfortunately.

Three great rounds.

Got better as the week went on.

70 on Thursday, 69 and then 68.

His mood was good.

He was smiley, he was chatty, he was in great form.

He left the first team great form on Sunday.

There was a gang from his old sponsors, Tenio, at the crosswalk on the first hole, and they roared at him, Shane, Shane, we miss you, Shane, Team Tenio.

And he turned around and said, I miss you guys laughing away.
