Fair play Rory, delighted that he looks to be back in form.

It really depends on his contract. Most of them seem to get different percentages depending on the tournament. Ten percent is usually reserved for the biggest ones. But I'm betting JP is on a nice bonus today.

I'd take that bet too!

Yea it is all down to contracts. Everyone always says 10% and they haven't a clue. Different contracts for different players and different caddies. But also different percentages for different finishing positions. I've no idea what percentage JP is on, but he is doing alright for himself that's for sure....

Great stuff, he went for it and got the reward, fair play to Moore too, he holed some putts to keep it going as long as it did and the good chip on the par 2.
Great finale

His eagle on the par 4 16th was a lucky break but then the play off should probably have ended on the 1st hole. Both Moore and Chappell were dead off the tee but got ridiculous free drops.

Chappell got a drop because some moron of a spectator picked up his ball! It never ceases to amaze me how often this happens at big American tournaments.

Not just a drop but they got to place it as well.

How was his eagle lucky. It went in the hole and he presumably was aiming there.

Yes, it could have easily missed, but so could most putts, pitches, chips etc that go in.

Holing out from 130 yards involves a fair bit of luck.

Really?

Of course he was aiming there. Just like he and every other golfer aims at 18 pins from fairways and tees..... how many of them go in? very few.

Because while you have to have the skill to get it in the zone, it does actually take a bit of luck for the ball to drop :eek::rolleyes:

When's Rory playing again?

The HSBC at the end of the month most likely

Would be surprised if this is true... thought his driver would be last to be switched out. Those numbers though!

Those stats are mental. 123 club head speed. Interesting to see now if he moves to taylor made irons.

Running Balance · 23-10-2016 9:02am

Taylormade? Has rory fallen for the marketing spiel of added 15+ yards with every new release ??

Russman · 23-10-2016 6:34pm

I think a number of the Nike players have gone to Taylormade driver & woods, Mizuno or Titleist irons, Vokey wedges and Cameron putters.
I'd say Rory will end up with something like that IMO.

Not having a contact with a particular manufacturer might be a great move, just pick what works best

All their stuff is custom built anyway. The brand name is incidental.

midnight city · 23-10-2016 8:57pm

The only thing i would worry about is he was driving the ball brilliantly with his Nike driver. If its not broke don't fix it comes to mind.

100% using the M2 in practice today

Yep. As I said above... surprised that the driver (and 3/5 wood?) is first to be changed (after putter) after how he hit it last year. Will be interesting to see his stats this week.

Nice windfall for JP (even if he did want Rory to hit SW instead of a 4 iron in the Tour Championship)

Anatom · 26-10-2016 2:17pm

Proper order. I like JP. He's been good for Rory the whole time.

I know people are going to come back here and say he hasn't been great for Rory, but I mean in general - over the course of Rory's career to date - he's been good for him.

Fully deserved and as expected... he got the 10% (contrary to what some were saying on here about how people who were guessing guessing 10% "haven't got a clue")

Chill. You shouldn't let these things bother you so much!

HighLine · 26-10-2016 9:55pm

Different club.. same beautiful swing. Looking forward to seeing his stats after this week.
