00:00The most crucial Rory shot of the tournament.
00:03Oh, you go first.
00:08Dude, there's so many.
00:10There's three.
00:11I mean, there's three.
00:12It's the shot that he hit on Friday at 13.
00:17It's the shot he hit at 15 on Sunday.
00:20It's the shot he hit at, there's four.
00:23It's the shot he hit at 17 on Sunday,
00:27and it's the second shot in the playoff.
00:29Yeah.
00:31You can make a case for all of them,
00:33and I seriously mean that because the shot he hit
00:36at the pine straw was on Friday.
00:39I know this is so far away from the end of the tournament,
00:42but it was such a meaningful thing for him.
00:44It's like he's back.
00:46He had made two doubles the day before at Chet Evenpar.
00:50All of a sudden, he's back in the golf tournament,
00:52and he's in the hunt.
00:53He's only a couple back.
00:54That one's just as important,
00:56and then coming off a double at 13,
00:59a bogey at 14,
01:00the hook at 7 iron to 6 feet,
01:02that you can make a case.
01:04That might be the most important one.
01:06I would probably rank that first,
01:10but the shot at 17 was unreal.
01:13Yeah.
01:13The shot at 18 was honestly,
01:15I'm going to say it's easy.
01:16I've never stood on a playoff hold
01:18to try to win a Masters in a Grand Slam,
01:20but from an overall difficulty standpoint,
01:24that was the easiest shot,
01:25but the most crucial, of course,
01:27because that's one of the dang Masters.
01:28Well, and maybe the one that's laden
01:29with the biggest psychological burden,
01:31even though you just hit it,
01:32that's what you're thinking about
01:33as you stand over it.
01:34Right.
01:35I'd probably go with that one,
01:36although I'd just say,
01:37and you already mentioned one of them,
01:38just both of the approach shots
01:39on 15 on the weekend
01:41were just so good
01:42on a week where that green
01:44was insanely firm,
01:46and guys figured out
01:47as the week went on,
01:48but we watched Rory,
01:50Scotty,
01:51Colin,
01:51Patrick Cantlay
01:52go long on that green on Thursday,
01:54and so for him to do what he did,
01:56hitting mid to long irons
01:57in that green on Saturday and Sunday
01:59and converting,
02:00I think,
02:00three under between those two holes
02:01was big stuff.
02:03All right.
02:03So let's take our step back
02:05to the beginning of this round,
02:06and I want to bring up a quote
02:09that I just read about Bryson DeChambeau
02:11talking about Rory McIlroy,
02:13and this goes back
02:14to our Day 3 Journal.
02:15If you watch our Day 3 Journal,
02:17we talked about how
02:18is Rory going to handle
02:20Bryson DeChambeau
02:22and the crowds on Sunday?
02:23We felt like Bryson
02:24was going to take
02:25every opportunity
02:26to try to get his crowd
02:27on his side.
02:28If anything,
02:29do anything in his power
02:31to maybe try to get inside
02:32Rory's head
02:33in any way that he could.
02:34I have a take here.
02:35I want to hear what you have to say,
02:36but I have a little take here.
02:37Here's a quote.
02:38Here's a quote.
02:39Bryson was asked,
02:40did you talk to Rory
02:41at all that day?
02:42Rory,
02:43Bryson said back and said,
02:46Rory wouldn't talk to him
02:47the entire day,
02:48hardly looked at him,
02:50never,
02:50there was no conversations.
02:52So you could see
02:53that Rory heading into the day
02:55probably made the conscious decision
02:56with his team
02:57and said,
02:58avoid him,
02:59don't talk to him,
03:00don't let him
03:01try to speak to you.
03:02Smart.
03:04That's the only way
03:05to handle a Sunday situation
03:06like that.
03:08And shoot,
03:09Bryson probably needed
03:11somebody to talk to.
03:12It was not a good day
03:12for Bryson.
