Former Masters champion Bob Goalby passed away at age 92. He won the 1968 Masters after finishing in a tie with Roberto DiVecenzo. DiVecenzo famously signed an incorrect scorecard that showed he took a 4 on 17, when in fact, he had birdied it. That gave Goalby a 1-stroke victory in one of the most infamous golf moments of all time. Goalby had 11 career wins and him and DiVecenzo remained good friends despite that day
Zalatoris still not making the big putt.
Rory puts one in the drink on final hole in Dubai https://www.irishtimes.com/sport/golf/rory-mcilroy-misses-out-on-dubai-title-after-finding-water-on-the-18th-1.4789114
If he lays up, he has to hit a wedge. Since he can’t hit a wedge to save his life in pressure spots, that was his best option
My guess is he was going for the win. Get on in two and two put would have put him in the lead . He must have had a lot of confidence in his three wood 267 over water.
Rory’s 3W carry distance is 280.Rico’s right, guy can’t dunk a wedge anymore.
No, they are examples of how difficult it is to remain dominant. They both have already accomplished enough to retire today and have a successful career.
Ultimately, Rory isn’t judged on winning Abu Dhabi or any other event that isn’t a major anymore. It was still jarring to see that shot. It didn’t have a chance. The miss is right on that hole because you can still make a birdie. He didn’t talk to the media, so he was clearly angry. Him and Spieth are prime examples of premature crownings in the golf world
Rocket I gave up on Jordan a long time ago. The game has changed a great deal in just a few years and I do not think he stay elite for Ming periods of time.
