Rorys Dad bet 100 euro at 500/1 he would win open by age 26, 10 years ago. Wow!
I see he and a couple of friends will collect on it...

I am done giving him a pass, he has gotten one every time since 2009. He had a very promising 1st round

When you have a target on your back for as many years as he did, it's inevitable that you breed a whole generation of guys aiming to be better than you. Is he still capable of being elite?! You bet he is, or at leadt in my opinion he is. Is he head and shoulders dominant above others?! No, and those days are behind him. The same people who think that probably thought Mike Tyson was still in his prime after the Peter Mcnally fight.

I think his body has broken down. His swing generates so much torque it was inevitable. Also I don't think he did himself any favors building a body builder type physique.
