It's a tough thing, you know, to meet somebody at the Masters unless it is completely prearranged.
I mean, to me, that was a four-day great Masters.
And the reason it was is because of the jeopardy that the leader was always in from, you know, from Saturday all the way through Sunday.
So I thought, and I said this to a couple of people, I was out at the beach when this happened, and I said, look, if Rory wins the tournament, I was saying this on Friday, if Rory wins the tournament,
It's going to be because what he did from holes 12 to 18 on Friday, building a colossal lead.
And then yesterday, my exact feelings were opposite.
I said, if he loses the tournament, it's because of what happened on the par threes in the front.
yesterday and it did not derail him so to me tony i never thought that he was out of it even when he dropped a three back i never thought he was out of it but i just think his resiliency is so impressive it's amazing so this is this is the question that hangs out in the ether for me i did think i mentioned this all day today i did think that rory got lucky in this regard
All he really had to do in the last five holes is tread water.
As long as he avoids some big number, as long as he avoids rinsing the ball, he's going to win that.
Had Scheffler made that birdie putt on 17 that he missed by one inch on the left side, had he made that, I think it's a different ball game.
