I think Rory is a victim of his own success and our expectations of him are unrealistic. He's won 24 times on the PGA Tour, 16 times on the European Tour and 4 majors. It matters not to me if he doesn't win another major, he's great to watch and a credit to the game of golf.

Played today with a 6 handicap golfer, nice chap and a good golfer. He must have repaired at least 3/4 unrepaired pitchmarks on every hole as well as his own. A man after my own heart! Why golfers don't repair their own pitchmarks as a matter of routine is a mystery to me.
