Rory?
ive kinda given up on him . Big thread at Golfwrx on Rory , few pages deep already. Titled- waht happened to Rory, underacheived. here are some of the replies;
Guys make too much money these days. Make someone a 'perennial top 5' with companies throwing money at them left and right and they just wont perform in the long run.
Unless they have a god given talent paired WITH a killer mental instinct that surpasses 1's and 0's in the bank - you wont see another Tiger for quite some time until that happens again.

Honestly I think Rory will be lucky to win another major. Super talented but super soft mentally. He's never gonna win the Masters and he'll never win on a traditional US Open course like Oakmont.

Rory is basically the only golfer out there who we think underperforms when he doesn't win.
In terms of pure overall talent, he's on his own tier in the pro game.
The criticisms that regard his mental or emotional approach are somewhat valid. They have to be.
Or else he's especially unlucky. I did see a putt today that went past the hole then broke backward toward it and went around the cup to finish cup high on the other side. The most bizarre miss of nearly perfect speed I've ever seen.
So I don't blame him for not going out there every single swing to try to beat that kind of horsesh1t. Can't be done.
Tiger was obviously amazing in every facet, but consider the luck element in putting for a second and compare it to pro poker players. Some people just draw out more often over a lifetime and some people go dead broke getting drawn out on when they have their money in with the right odds.
Rory might just be that guy - the one who is constantly going in with the flopped straight only to get rivered by someone else. And then once it happens to you enough times you start misplaying the future hands out of superstition.
(huh?)

As they say, nobody does less with good drives than Rory.

here is my 2 cents worth**** May of 2017 he signs a insane 100 million dollar contract with TM
Also around that same time he let his caddie go that he won 4 majors with and put his "beer buddy" on the bag.
gl with your bets. And gl to Rory!!!!
