Nah it’s not expected at all and that’s why the ones that are so out spoken feel confident enough to harp on it. If they actually thought he would do it they would stay silent. Which sometimes is the case.

I’m not going to lie, we have had some close calls over the last 8+ years, like last years Open Championship or today. I was fully ready to take my medicine, but just haven’t had to do it yet.

I talked about this on Off Course this week. We keep saying, SOON, but at what point is it all just hot air? I also said though when he gets one, I could see him going on a Phil like tear in this age range.

Also, what about China?
They should flip the 9s next time. That front 9 coming down there stretch would be FUN. Augusta like with multiple birdie/eagle chances.

I agree. Watching them scratch out par for 9 holes isn’t as fun as some birdies!!!

And have needed some all world performances from unlikely heroes to keep the shut out going. Like you said, we are playing with house money and when it ends it will be bitter sweet, but it was a good run.
Obviously Rory does well in tournaments but do you think if he had a seasoned caddie it would be bettter?

My thought as well. IF he keeps playing like he is I can’t see him not getting one. Top 8 in last 6/7 majors, top 3 3/6 is wild.

Was about to post the same thing. The kid is as classy as they come. I don’t think many people are saying the kind of comments we say about Patrick Reed for example.
Oh well. After the past few years, I remain happy to see Rickie in the conversation on a Sunday night. He wins at so much of life, in a way that is genuinely aspirational. I hope one day he wins a major. But I will remain a fan no matter what.

I’m reminded of a quote about Patrice Bergeron: you can’t win a Stanley Cup with a team of guys like him, but every Stanley Cup winning team has a guy like him.
In an era of winning-obsessed grinders, I’m glad golf still has guys who just love that they get to do this for a living. Rickie might never win a major (mores the pity) but he will play like a man who knows he plays a game of leisure for a living and loves every second of it.

Lot of Rory bashing. He didn’t win it but I don’t think you can say he really lost it. It’s not like he shot 75. Shot even par in the second to last group. Nobody went low the last few groups.

Somebody just needs to remind him he doesn’t like playing links golf and his super high ball flight doesn’t fit that style. The rest will take care of itself?

This right here is both 100% accurate and why I’ve found myself on the anti-Rory train in the last couple years. Add on him becoming the holier than thou mouthpiece of the PGA and all golf coverage just swooning over him constantly he’s become the Duke of golf.
