Should be absorbing. Rory is the best player in the world right now and playing well, so perhaps it’s a question of the mentality today rather than talent, that will get him over the line?
Not sure he would have chosen BDC to play with? The fans will be cheering on their man

Totally excited for it and rooting for Rory to win. BDC though has totally reinvented himself and is probably the most popular player playing at the moment and is doing loads to attract a different and younger demographic to the sport which can only be a good thing

Has recovered well Raymie after the disaster start. Seems to have added a lot of maturity to his game

Don`t know how they do this under that pressure. McIlroy approach on the 15th was unbelievable.

Quite how Rory comes out with that in the playoff hole - when the headlines were already written - is anyone`s guess. Unbelievable resilience and character.

Delighted for him to finally get over the line and get that monkey off his back.
Undoubtedly should have won a lot more with the talent he has IMO but those 6-8 footers when the pressure is really on has (hopefully past tense now!) always heen his achilles heel.
The way he shaped that second shot into the Par 5 will go down as the stuff of legend and right up there with Woods' chip in as an all time Masters highlight reel moment.

At the risk of being philosophical, the makeup of the human being strikes me as being far more complex than any scientist of our age, or any previous age, has explained. There is something within us that supercedes any attempt to explain in any rational manner. When someone is "in the groove", as Declan Rice was a few days ago and as Rory McIlroy was yesterday, the pinpoint accuracy of their match winning efforts defies reason. McIlroy hit at least 3 miracle shots in that final round, which tells me that there is some inexplicable quality in the human brain that transcends scientific explanation and is in the realms of the metaphysical. Anyway, I`ve watched the Masters, with great enjoyment for many years, but that final round yesterday takes the biscuit.

It`s not just sporting success either.
For example there are toddlers who are blind because of parasitic wasps living in their eyeballs who achieve relative success despite the situation their loving creator has engineered for them.
It really is magical.

Maybe, like all the evil human beings are inflicting on each other right now, Wotsit, these parasites are the result of human evil, not our loving God, who died on a cross to redeem us from our miserable state. Have you ever considered why people can`t get on with each other? There is something fundamentally disordered in humankind, that needs to be sorted.
But as William Wordsworth pointed out "Trailing clouds of glory have we come, from God who is our father and our home." As with human achievement, typified by Rory McIlroy, there are elements of God`s glory in human achievement that point to us being made in the image of God and that is something I see also in my dear disabled Grandson.

You need to take the rough with the smooth mate.
If you are taking credit on behalf of a supernatural creator for the positive and magical aspects of nature, then you also have to also take credit on their behalf for the less salubrious aspects of it.

We all have to take the rough with the smooth, Wotsit, it`s part of the human condition but we also have to discern good from evil and recognise they don`t come from the same source.

That creator gives kids cancer……says it all about how “glorious” they are. But no doubt they will claim that he doesn’t do this…….
Great mental strength from Rory to come through a play off he would normally collapse in. Rose again unlucky in the Masters - thats 3 2nd place finishes for him now!

There is no doubt some powerful force has breathed life into us and given capacities for great achievements, like Rory McIlroy`s. If that force is evil, as you both make out, the human race is in dire trouble because we will be at the mercy of an evil power for all eternity. But let my last word on the subject in this thread be, to remind you of the Easter Message. "God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have eternal life." And that, coincidentally, is the conviction also held by Bernhart Langer and Scotty Scheffler.

Don't think Mcilroy has blown too many majors in recent times - last year's US Open the obvious exception. His problem over the last decade has generally been attributable to starting poorly.
His playoff record is pretty decent over the last decade also - especially in the bigger tournaments.
