Old thread
Statistically Rory is
Given his good run
Speith not a chance
Brooks probably
Brooksey turns it on for majors , which shows an elite mentality. The majors is 90% of golf , maybe more.
That's fair enough in career terms , both are more likely to win a major now. Rory been fav or top 3 for nearly 40 majors in a row is just mad to me, he has shown he cannot win them anymore.
Neither player is as good as Rory, in career terms
If Rory plays that bad then you can rail on him saying he was crap
Otherwise no
Not sure how to even reply to that.
But what about all their choking today, like they've turned blue they choked so bad
2017 for speith, never win another
Brooksey cant win anything unless it's a major
When's there last major wins??
They were t23 and t68 now that's a choke
Man you need to chill out. Those players are just as good as Rory imo. They don't choke when it matters. Won't be engaging with you again. Child.
But he wouldn't get into the majors then
There's no way he'd agree with you
The money alone you'd lose
He take staying in the top 10 with a decent chance of another 2 as it's going now
The game of golf has changed, domination has gone
Cos this is what you wrote, you ignorant dim wit dummy:
"...Rory has not proved to be better than Koepka , Rahm , Spieth even etc."
Now I've given you about 5 criteria that show Rory has been a better player than all those players to date. So kindly try back up your assertions ibunnae & quit the name calling when you're shown up be wumming with vacuous non assertions like that above.
Run along now, chooo!!!
How is that enough said? Rory would rather be ranked outside the top 100 for the rest of his career, all last place finishes and another 4 major wins. I can guarantee you that.
Danny willet won the masters.. nuff said.
Rory does give a suite for sure
How Mcllroy cant be criticized on this thread is pathetic , just fanboys. I've said before I don't think he will another one and I've been castigated for it. It's nearly been 10 years. Bookies adore the man.
When did I say those players were better. Learn to read. And change your tone you cheeky ****.
The majors is 90% of the importance of golf. It's nearly been 10 years , clutching at straw for the other shite like a bleeding world ranking doesn't matter a jot. You think Rory gives a **** about his world ranking??
So are you saying that all of Koepka, Rahm & Spieth, etc have more majors than Rory? No, that is incorrect.
More Pga wins perhaps?? No, that is also incorrect.
More FedEx cup / order of merit wins??? No, that is so woefully incorrect as to be pitiful.
Are higher ranked in aggregate for longer than Rory in the world rankings maybe ???? Eh No, that is also not correct.
So, what are you trying to say exactly?? How are these players better than Rory in the round?? (With the possible exception of Koepka who has won just 1 more major than Rory)
And So, with your pathetic grasp of what constitutes a better player than Rory, exactly from what motivation & with what agenda are you colouring your views and (deliberately) misrepresenting the facts!?!....
Who is a special player right now in your opinion?
I'd agree there , I just don't think the caddy calms him
Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. I personally doubt that his caddy has anything to do with him not winning a major in 10 years but only Rory will really know that.
Yeah but it obviously doesn't relax him very much
This caddy argument for McIlroy is total nonsense, in my opinion. At Rory's level, he should know his game well enough so that a caddy doesn't need to be babysitting him around a course in terms of shot advice. Having a mate on the bag can work wonders in terms of relaxing a player. McIlroy is putting himself in there to win pretty much every Major he plays in. He just needs to stick at it. It'll happen for him.
What does "a proper caddy" mean though ? Harry could be the best caddy in the world for all any of us know. Personally I don't really buy the argument that a mate is a bad thing. You just have to look at the variety of backgrounds that some of the caddies come from to see there's no perfect prototype. I'd say whatever the player is most comfortable with is best. I mean, if he'd even putted just poorly he'd probably have won this week, nothing the caddy can do about that.
It isn’t pedantry to call you out on the distinction between contending for a major and finishing in the top 10. Many of those top 10s were repeats of this weekend’s performance where a charge on the last day moved him up the leaderboard without ever troubling the winner. If you see todays performance as contending, fair enough, many don’t.
He's obviously not been playing as well as he was then. The article essentially qualifies the tiger like run of form on that basis.
The expectations were completely unrealistic. Hes made a fantastic career for himself, his family will want for nothing and he has plenty time to continue to leave a mark on golf.
Golf is a fickle game, there's very little between winners and losers. McIlroy has been one of the most consistent golfers of the past 15 years if not the most consistent.
Sure what if he hasn't fulfilled those unrealistic expectations? I doubt it bothers him in reality and it sure as hell doesn't bother me.
For the record that's McIlroy's 20th top ten finish in a major since he last won one. For all that they're hard to win, 25 other players have managed it since he last did, so for a consistent top ten in the world golfer they're not that hard to win.
My own personal view is that he's choosing to put himself at a disadvantage every time he goes on the course by having a mate on the bag, when everyone else has a proper caddy. The quality of that second opinion can often be the difference between winning and losing tournaments, but Rory chooses not to utilise it for whatever reason. I suspect it's a decision he'll come to regret when he looks back on his career.
Your pedantry about "contention" just reinforces my point. You are the one focusing on this and you are only doing it as yet another way to get a dig in at McIlroy. I mean, god forbid a player constantly finishing high in tournaments be seen as contending. God no, its McIlroy so you have to make sure to stress that he isn't actually contending at all, despite those high placings. Just like you have to make sure people know that the tournaments he does win are just meaningless training runs.
Its an agenda and it is sad.
You're stating the obvious to be fair and not counteracting anyone's claims.
It would have been a cracker of an open,only for BH,2nd place must have changed 15 times today
I don't get your point? The article was wrong. Rory has not proved to be better than Koepka , Rahm , Spieth even etc.
