He is the tottenham hotspur of golf.

always full of promise, always up there, always pipped at the post.

it's pure and simple for McIroy yesterday. He missed his putts.
The amount of times that he missed by less that 2 inches was incredible. Normally he'd be sinking 2 or 3 of them at least - then he would have won.

What a round by Cameron Smith though. just goes to show how important to a good score putting is.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

perhaps Tim Henman can give McIlroy some lessons on being a big fish in a small pond ?

Someone tipped me smith at 25’s guess what ffs

maybe if Rory got a mullet hairdo like the winner that would help his self confidence, and a wispy bumfluff moustache too, and maybe change his name from Rory to Shane, and take in a rescue kangaroo or koala bear.

Rory didn't do much wrong. Golf is the finest of fine margins. If a couple of his putts over the 72 holes dropped and Cam Smiths didn't, we'd have had a different champ.

His tactics were fine. Whilst you're leading it's yours to loose so no need to take risks - you leave that to the chasing pack. There's a different mentality when you're chasing and you've just got to give credit to Smith as his putter was red hot. His up and down on 17 for par was the clincher.
