You're coming down the back nine, and it seems like there's three, four players.

Any one of them, if they go out and just grab it, they can take the win.

And I think Rory hit a few key shots, namely the iron on 12, a hole that often is where everything unwinds.

He hit just a great approach shot there and kind of took it while everybody else couldn't really make a run.
