I think this is the thing about Scott. And I did a bad job today because I thought when DeChambeau hit it in the water on 11, I'm like, oh, we're done here. I lost track of Oberg and Rose and didn't even realize that they were had a chance to do what they did, and all of a sudden here they came. Scheffler felt like he didn't play great, right? Fourth. Right. Like, that's how good that guy is.

Didn't really feel like β it felt a little bit off β Still finished fourth. Revenge tour. I mean, Scottie's good. I don't think he's not the sort of dude that's wired for revenge, but probably will win a bunch of tournaments between now and the end of the year for sure.

But I think like the guy that doesn't win, you just want to get the hell out of the way and let whoever has his moment, particularly when it's Rory, like have the moment to himself.

you can't do it. Can't miss like that. Like I hated the layup. And the re the reason I hated the layup, even though he executed the layup, obviously perfect until he hit it in the water is that like, there's, there's a saying that I've heard coaches. And I always go back to Gary Williams at Maryland.

And he said, like, if you play a certain way to build a lead and then you play completely different to protect the lead, you end up often giving up your lead because you played a certain way. There's a certain level of aggression. Rory hit a really nice drive on 13, and I get it.

You don't want to bring a big number into play with a second shot to try to get to the green, but he could have gotten to the green. And obviously, in retrospect, if you know you're going to hit it in the water, you would have tried to go for the green in two anyway. But the wedge game has always been Rory's weakest part of his game. You saw it on 18 in regulation. And he had 82 yards.

Like, that's a pitching putt swing for anyone. And he managed to let it leak right and make the one mistake he couldn't make. But, I mean, it didn't kill him in the end. I mean, he made four doubles. That's the most anyone's ever made to win the Masters. But that swing, the swing on 18 in regulation, those are the moments that you're like, I can't believe he's going to do this again.
