I was rooting for Rory, among many others (though not the idiots yelling USA, USA, as if this were the Ryder Cup) and feel for him. A brutal finish to a great tournament. deChambeau deserved it, though, despite his wayward 380 yard drives. He was so lucky in the native rough but made so many great up and downs. He seems like a decent enough guy and the crowd loved him, but I'm so anti-LIV it was hard for me to celebrate. Rory will win another, deChambeau a bunch more. Thanks for the nice piece.

Bill-

Good catch on Jack missing a 3-footer on the 71st hole at Turnberry in 1977. That miss is rarely, if ever, talked about.

You can also throw in Hubert Green missing a 4-footer on the 72nd green in the 1978 Masters paving the way for Gary Player to claim his third green jacket.
