(191,620 posts)The LIV golfers are like trees in a biosphere, they are weak without resistance (wind-competition).
Brysion’s best option so far seems to be hitting into sand traps which isn’t a winning strategy.
Looks like a duel…. on a nice day. Light wind. Unless Rory or Math Boy explode Connor’s is going to have to go lights out to even be a factor.
I hate to end on a negative but then there’s Patrick Reed 🙄

(33,972 posts)and I’ll be watching other stuff. I’ll be checking on him. Just can’t watch. I WANT HIM TO WIN. ☘️ 🍀 ☘️

(23,953 posts)Rory is a gentleman golfer. I admire him immensely.

(23,953 posts)And Rory earned his Grand Slam brilliantly! I'm so impressed by this young man.
As an avid golfer, I have a minor point to make. In the Rules of Golf, there is no such thing as a "trap." There are "bunkers," some of which are filled with sand and others that are just grass.
It's not that important and I'm not a curmudgeon, at least regarding Golf! However, words have meanings and too often, vernacular bastardizes the language.
Thanks for reading!

(1,654 posts)Rory is still 2 shots up but I totally agree 💯
I'd really hate to see him lose to Bryson again. DeChambeau and Dustin Johnson are both on the LIV ⛳ tour and tight with Trump

Plus it's always worth recalling that LIV ⛳ was created in large part to funnel Saudi money to Trump in the hope to get him back in the White House..
Unfortunately we know how that worked out.

(73,696 posts)Rory just double bogeyed the firsparked. 3 putted.
BDC parred.
So, they're both 10 under now.

(73,696 posts)And, Dechambeau stumbled.
After a shaky 2nd hole, Rory birdied 2 of the next 3 & Dechambeau made a couple bogets.
McIlroy went from 1 behind to 3 up in three holes.
Still at -12.

(73,696 posts)So, they're half way through hole nine with RM up by 3. Both in really good shape for 2nd shot on 9.
ProfessorGAC
(73,696 posts)McIlroy gave back a stroke & Justin Rose just birdied 18. All tied up.
Then Rory missed a birdie putt on 16 that looked good the whole way. It just wouldn't go in.

(39,735 posts)It all started when he regular caddie left and he took on his childhood buddy to caddie for him.

(39,735 posts)Just a par for the win.

(73,696 posts)That 2nd shot was terrific.
He didn't putt very well today, so he just hit one too close to miss!

(2,116 posts)I was blown away—both by the quality of play and the incredible mistakes.
But Rory hung in there.
Been playing and watching golf for a long time and that was unlike anything I’ve seen.
This should give him a lot of confidence going forward. He dug himself out.
Justin Rose’s performance was better than Rory’s, but he was a little too far back.
Damn!
Good on those two.
Was also happy that Bryson Dechambeau lost. He’s a trumper.
