But every time, and CBS did an awesome job showing it, every time they would post on the leaderboard the score and you saw Rory double 13 and everyone's like... You saw, like, Surrender Cobra, hands on head, like, oh, no. And then when they post the birdie on 17, everyone goes nuts because they know he's coming to this hole, and we get to welcome him home, and it's going to be great.

And then he puts it in the bunker, and then they're like, you've got to be kidding me, right? I mean, so the back and forth was – like, the drama builds, but – There was a lot of Rory, Rory, Rory chants, and they were wanting to see it. And then in the end, they did. And again, I think it's not just somebody wins the Masters every year.

No one's won the Grand Slam since Tiger, and that's been a long time. All stacked on top of another, and who it was, and because he'd been through all these things. This is the guy that more people than not on the grounds were absolutely behind.

100%. And I mean, I'm sure that he would say, well, I mean, I won at Pebble and I won the players this year already. I won the players before. But the counter to that is, cool, you've got more money than you need anyway. And those tournaments ultimately in the grand scheme don't matter. And we count majors among the very best.

And so what... while the wins before were great, this is, this is the damn burst that now frees them up to be truly like, fuck it. I'm going to go do like, I mean, think about it in a way where now no one can say anything to you. And someone says, Hey, Roy, shut your mouth. You're coming off stupid. I just won the Masters, and I'm good. House money? No, he's got a ton of runway in front of him.

He could stack three or four more of these. Quail Holloway's won four times, which is where they go next. So I think we tend to have this recency bias where whoever wins, we say, they might win a few more. But in Rory's case, unburdened from this... He could just let it rip forever. He's got nothing. What's the Joker line in The Dark Knight? You have nothing to threaten me with.

I do think there's something to that. It'd be like if someone had a lead in a Super Bowl and then they blew it, but then they won it in overtime. It'd be like, it's almost like you won it twice. You know what I mean? Right. And then with Roy, it almost feels like you won it three times. I know. It's just like he had it, then he blew it, then he takes the lead on 15, then he's... Makes it on 17.
