So Justin Rose is not only a great guy, he's in the history and lore of golf, but he's also in the history and the lore of the Tony Kornheiser show.
had La Chisere very prominently at the Olympics in 16 in Rio.
I thought Cameron Young acquitted himself okay for being in that position for the first time at the Masters.
I don't think he fell apart or anything like that.
Now, he had a chance to grab a hold of things and put a chokehold on Rory and the rest of the field, but he didn't do that.
I don't think he will walk away thinking, oh man, I blew this thing.
I think Jason Day and I think Shane Lowry will think, wow, the winning score was 12-under.
He could have gotten to 11 or 12, but he was basically out of it.
The guy I think who's going to look back and think very quietly, no one's going to talk about him, is Russell Henley.
Russell Henley finished at 10 under par.
Russell Henley is known on the PGA Tour as one of the best putters on the planet and a guy who does not fold when the pressure is running really hot.
Guys love playing with Russell Henley.
Scotty Scheffler chose him at the President's Cup and the Ryder Cup to play with him because he loves playing with Russell Henley.
He has a lot of respect on tour, and the putter is the thing that has gotten him to that point of being a top five player on the planet.
Yesterday, he hit the ball beautifully, and he had so many chances to post a good number, just like Justin Rose.
Now, Lowry and Day, like you said, had chances.
