Rory McIlroy - 4 Time Major Winner

No that is not true

Winners have a different mentality

Your take is now that people tee it up on a Thursday at a major but they’re just there to make up the numbers?

You’re getting more ridiculous.

The vast majority of the field go to every major and try to win it. There are some obvious exceptions that don’t need to be named.

It seems mental that he doesn't discuss anything with his caddy

Not you again, the absolute nonsense that comes out of your head.

Definitely wrong club on 15 and possibly 17&18

The reason he is in contention is because hes the big dog, same with Bryson

Its why you are sitting at a keyboard talking waffle, you arent

He lost because of the 2 foot putt

They amount of effort over the 4 days kn that course caused those mistakes at the end, everone else had faltered

Agreed about Faldo. Total a*se h*le. His attempts at humour are pathetic and uncalled for. His "commentary" has zero useful content. Sky needs rid of him.

Hard to know on the caddie thing. In 2012 Adam Scott threw away the Open at Lytham, finished with 4 bogies in a row. He had Stevie Williams on the bag, still didn't stop poor decisions

TBH I've never bought into the Harry is a bad caddy narrative. He's one of his closest friends, is/was a top class amateur and knows the game. The fans on TV rarely hear or see the interactions between players and caddies, I think its unfair to assume he doesn't say anything. Spieth's caddy was a teacher. There a lot of dynamics go into it IMHO. Now, all that said, you do kinda think if Billy Foster was on the bag last night, Rory wins. The raking the sand thing is a complete red herring btw.

I'm a huge fan of Rory but ultimately its down to not holing two not much more than gimme putts. No one is ever going to play perfect golf and not have to "make" a good shot to overcome an earlier mistake on the hole. The one on 16 was a surprise, out of the blue, but somehow we knew he'd be missing the one on 18, he just didn't look comfortable over it.

I dunno, I hope it doesn't haunt him. Like I say, I'm a huge fan, but I fear his current tally of 4 majors is also his final tally. To me, this was way worse than Monty & Harrington at Winged Foot, probably second only to van de Velde. Look how many times Doug Sanders' putt has been replayed over the years, I'd hate for that to happen to Rory's one.

Yous are all hilarious, driver, 3 wood, iron this iron that

End of the day he missed 2 putts within 4 feet you do that on the last few holes and you are never winning.

Gutted for him. But my god, what a great watch.

But didn't Bryson only hit the fairways 36% off the tee in his final round?

They all make mistakes. Rory just made 2 very big ones on the 2 final holes

Whatever about club selection and iffy lies and caddy and whatnot… He missed two putts of 3 foot and a bit over the last 3 holes of a major Sunday. You just cant be doing that and he'll find it difficult to get over this I think.

You think my comment is odd but you think it OK that RTÉ Sport is “swerving” Ireland’s only global superstar.

What? That final chip from the bunker on the 18th proves he had more bottle in his little finger yesterday than Rory. Far from a basket case.

Ok both were nervous in the last few holes, but Bryson certainly pulled out a party trick on the 18th when it was needed.

I wonder is there any chance he skips The Open.

He has to be mentally scarred after last night.

So many 'what if' moments in the round. He played the first 14 holes or so magnificently. Desperately unlucky on 5 then some amazing scrambling over the next few holes, then a run of 4 birdies in 5.

I was sure he had it after the 14th.

It's a funny game and is awful cruel at times and the pressure must be unreal - something the vast majority of people will never experience.

Will he ever get a better chance to win a Major?

I dont think he'll crawl into a cave. He'll need a couple of nights sleep a good hug from the wife and he'll be ok.

But golfing wise this will be a difficult one to get over. Dont think thats him 'done' time is a great healer but it will really hurt and not easy to shake off. He's done similar before but this was the worst one yet. I know he's a gazillionaire and he's living the dream by anyone's standards but today I feel a bit sorry for him.

Hope the audience goes easy on him, crowds can be cruel and it can be a lonely place in front of an audience after something like this.

US Network never dropped Nick Faldo. He retired 🙄
