Indo Sport
Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

But I wish he could be more open as to, like, what exactly are you getting out of it at this point?

Indo Sport
Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

Because if it's to enjoy the walk, it's to compete in a tournament knowing, like, you never know, like, things might happen.

Indo Sport
Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

Then I think that would be really interesting.

Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

But if we get this sort of same rigmarole about โ€“

Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

Oh, you know, I'm only here if I can win the tournament.

Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

I think it comes off as a little bit delusional in that sense, which is fine.

Tiger's Masters Dream | Rory's Form | Gary Player vs Augusta

I don't care what he shoots.
