Rory McIlroy

Uh, I wouldn't even just say the past 14 months, but I mean, the game has been good to me.

You know, I would say I had a little bit of a lull through that COVID period, 20 and 21, uh,

But if you look at my game and my results and my consistency from 2022 through to now, I've been on a nice run.

And that run has culminated with the last couple of Masters, which has been really nice.

Yeah, I think winning majors isn't, it's about like you need to have most aspects of your game working.

But yeah, major championships aren't one with statistics or previous results.

It's one with grit and determination and hitting the shots under pressure when you need to.

And there's no real...

There's no real statistics to show you how good you are at that.

That's just something that you have to learn and be.

I think the other thing is I went through so many experiences recently of being in those positions and getting more and more comfortable every time that I was in those positions that then...

Once you start to get over that hump and you get a win, you get another win, it sort of breeds confidence from there.

Form is great.

Form gives you confidence leading into events, but I would say that the way I won at Augusta a few weeks ago gives me more confidence about where I'm at and what I can do in these big weeks than, say, winning two or three events leading up to a major.

Yeah, I mean, look, it suits me, but I would argue that it suits a lot of the field as well because that's the way the game's going.

Everyone hits it pretty long nowadays.

Everyone can carry it over 300 yards.

So it used to be a talking point maybe 10 years ago, but I just think with the way the game has went and the way everyone plays the game nowadays, I think courses like this bring more and more people into it.

I think it's harder to separate yourself in a course like this than, say, like a Shinnecock Hills or an Augusta or a Pinehurst or somewhere like that.

So...
