  1. Where were the greats like Anika strostom ? and Ochawa ? They should be after retirement, be sitting amongst the committee in the body of Golf organisations.

  2. 2011 the commentators never stayed quiet about Rory not winning the us masters in Augusta..saying it was a disaster .there's something special about Rory .get that putting stroke back you'll win more Rory..your good enough

  3. I’ve never been a Rory fan but he destroyed this course. He did win me as a fan during that final round at Augusta 2022. Tee to green was impeccable at this US open.
