Those starting from the 10th Hole seems to be a different ordering alright.

I think they are doing so, the last 5 groups starting at Hole 1 are the top 15 from the leaderboard, so it should all build to a decent finish to the day around 9-10pm.

His buddy on the bag, hard to know if that’s a help or hindrance.
He’s teasing us again today. Absolutely charging when there’s no pressure. Fully expect him to get to -10/-11 and fall apart again.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Kinda like the Irish rugby team.
Maybe we are just a nation of bottlers.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Rory has two main problems
1. Can't putt
2. Not a psychopath.... Errr I mean he doesn't have that winning mentality...you know where you have everything but still need to win every week like your last meal depends on it
Apparently he never really had the "winning mentality"
He made it despite shit putting, got everything and dropped a little...like a human

Rory's done what Kaymer Faldo and Duval types . If it's not broke dont fix it. Plus the bravado types obsession with distance . He looks around too much and he definitely needs a caddie that's says NO RORY FFS NO. I dont think it's a bottle thing really , it's a concentration thing. Dustin got his wedges out and worked at them . Hes also prone to blowouts. Not over by a long chalk.

I could prob hear the concentration argument. Just hard to imagine how he doesn’t concentrate when trying to win his career grand slam. Or in any major. Could see it on the reg PGA weeks maybe.
The “he has 4 majors so can’t be a bottler” is such lazy analysis, if even for the fact he has admitted feeling the pressure and it affecting him on many occasions.
like even just read his wiki. So many examples of bottling for someone with such ability.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

I think what frustrates most people about McIllroy is that he will shoot a terrible score in a particular round (often round 1 or 2) and then shoot the lights out on subsequent days even though the bad round has effectively blown his chances.
The likes of Westwood/Poulter are bottlers IMO.Last edited by Degag; 14-11-20, 20:28.

I actually agree with you that the terrible one round, lights out the rest is the issue. I think its just caused by pressure, either by himself, or by an opponent, of by a situation.
Examples of Rory performing poorly under pressure:
2016 WGC - gave up a 3 shot lead
2016 Masters - five over par final round. 77.
Ryder Cup - losing to Paddy Reed (this is arguable, he was beaten by a better man on the day, but Rory made some awful awful putts).
2017 Masters - final round 74. He wasn't really in contention here, 3 shots back, but he had a chance. Shooting 74 when you need to shoot 67 is terrible. Crumbled.
2019 Open First round - Tugged one OB on the first tee.
2019 Open second round - tugged one into a bunker on when he needed to make par to just make the cut.
2019 - How many top 5's with no close. Yeah, potentially variance and just bad luck but certainly a trend.
2020 Masters - terrible first round when pressure is on, shoots lights out from then on.
Outside of all that, watch him week to week, his putting when he needs to make it is awful. 6-10ft when he needs it, he misses it.
Yes, it could be some other reason, it could be pure variance. But... my hypotheses is that he is a bottler. There are just too many examples.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.

Also at a really technical level, he tends to tug it when he misses in what I would call "pressure situations". Thats usually a sign of pressure affecting the tension in your grip. Holding to tight, keeping club head closed. Titty tugging it.This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
