7:37 for the best eyebrow game

Humble, talented, funny and easy going. What a great champion he was in 2011. Still like watching him today.

Walter Hagen (d 1969) was reincarnated as Rory (b 1989). See Seal #7: Reincarnation Theory - 26 Principles incl. Theory of Luck Equation at 7seals.blogspot.com . Only the returned Christ & Albert Einstein reincarnated could produce that. It's triggered The Apocalypse/Revelation which is NOT the 'end of the world'.

[@chuckers40]

It's hard to believe it's 7 years since he won his last major. He's too good to be "stuck" on four major wins. Mcilroy has one of the most impressive resumes on the PGA Tour. He's done everything except win at Augusta (The Masters) He's got to start winning majors again.

[@wikzy.7966]

he will!😄

Once he started dating women the wheels fell off, if he stayed away from women he would have 15-20 majors right now, they are poison!!

[@josephhall5681]

Rory is plain amazing with a golf club. He'll work it out. He has so much time still

[@golfhound]

He runs into the same problem other top players have to deal with: 1. there are only four majors a year 2. There are too many good (not great ) players that happen to have a great week during a major. 3. So long as the USGA, R&A, PGA trick up golf courses to the point that freak luck wins rather than pure skill, then it's just a free-for-all, like throwing darts in the dark.

[@tonybleau6219]

Hope Rory wins a Masters to get that elusive career slam. It's almost unreal that it has eluded him so far and he got second place in 2022. He can do it.

[@leroyrodgers6089]

His swing looks perfect here. I think he needs to come back and watch this swing. He is completely in balance here.

Great video. Rory was amazing. When that mentioned him breaking Gil Morgan's record I couldn't help think about how quick pebble beach turned on the players. Morgan set an open record of 13 under ( at the time) and finished at plus 5, just a round and a half later.

Hard to believe it's been six years since Rory last won a major. And even harder to believe it's been three years since Spieth won a tournament at all.

[@isaacverrall8782]

Scott Carroll why do you think that is scott? Has his game just got worse? Or is it because of rahm , johnston being so good?

[@scottcarroll9201]

Iysboy95 it has to be mental. Statistically speaking his play over the past year has been every bit as good as it was in 2014. It just seems like every major he has one round where he blows up. Spieth’s problem has been his driving. It’s atrocious. Hard to play from some of the places he drives his ball.

[@isaacverrall8782]

Scott Carroll Thanks for the insight relatively new to golf but i really like rory , his drives are unreal , im a terrible golfer lol

Where is this Rory Haven't seen him in 8 years

[@myleschilton3473]

Perfect Rors conditions. Soft course, no wind, wide fairways, no rough.

[@murraydmark]

Theoretically though, it should be the opposite. Rory on paper should be dominant in extremely firm conditions as his approach shots are so high and soft. I think his distance really used to allow him to dominate the soft layouts though. P.S. "no rough" is a bit of a stretch, lol

He shot 66 that round after a double bogey on the last after going into the water on that hole. So he was frustrated and impulsively threw his ball that he not only gets for free unlimited numbers of, but gets paid to use them, into the water. It gives the guys who make a living retrieving and selling ‘lake balls’ has an extra grade A ball to find easily and sell. I know your comment was tongue in cheek but that’s the explanation.
