How is that relevant? It's not.. stop it please

Of course it's relevant he did it before when he was plus 4 or 5,

Pissartist · 18-07-2019 10:17AM

Farcical my point was perfectly relevant.

Rory is like the Wayne Rooney of golf, peaked early. Great to see Lowry going well and looking confident.

Loafing Oaf · 18-07-2019 10:19AM

What exactly happened to Rory on the first?

SharpshooterTom · 18-07-2019 10:19AM

Diabolical drive.

A damn shame, loads of good golf and we're talking about a poor guy having a meltdown in front of his peers, home crowd and worldwide TV, I feel for him right now

So do I.
From a sporting perspective, it has to be the worst nightmare coming true.

slave1 · 18-07-2019 10:27AM

LOL, Rory is replicating how I started in the Boards outing in Portmarnock, not a pretty place, hope he recovers better than I did

Ashleigh1986 · 18-07-2019 10:29AM

Mcilroy has turned into the golfer that loves playing in good weather bombing the driver and getting loads of birdies .
To me he is lacking the 15th club in the bag .
That's the " mental club" .
Some players are great at turning a bad day on the course into a level par round ....Rory goes chasing and in a lot of cases turns a bad round into an awful round.

sh!t - when was that? I only live down the road. Granted - given the state of my game at the moment - probably better off.

I blame the kids.

slave1 · 18-07-2019 10:31AM

Shane nice and steady, course looks benign and not playing 'that' difficult

How f*cking cool is that hologram thing they have going on in the open zone with Nick Dougherty.

Keano · 18-07-2019 10:33AM

This is not school, let's leave the spelling stuff out. Thanks

How the hell was his ball sitting up so well in that hay??

Stevieluvsye · 18-07-2019 10:34AM

Feel for Rory. If he was to shoot an 80+ today that could do a lot of damage for his future in the game. As in he'll be known as a choker on the biggest of occasions. Not easy to erase these things from your mind.

doubt it.

everyone has **** rounds at an open.

id say he will bounce back from now and i think make cut.

slave1 · 18-07-2019 10:36AM

Molinari's putter looks tiny

No he wont. He'll be known as a 4 time major winner which is a legacy most pro's can only dream of.

If he retired tomorrow he'd still be one of the greatest golfers ever and the greatest ever golfer that's ever come from the island of Ireland.

He's not exactly unknown for meltdowns

however he's not a choker - he's a record most golfers only dream of. When was the last time he was out of the top 10 in the world?
