What Rory did on 15, 16 and 17 in the final round is BONKERS. 1 in 28,700 chance.
🤯🤯🤯
#15▶️207 yards to 6 feet
#16▶️170 yards to 9 feet
#17▶️196 yards to 2 feet
The chances a tour pro hits each of those shots as close as he did:
#15▶️1.99%
#16▶️7.91%
#17▶️0.37%
The chances a tour pro hits approach shots that good on three consecutive holes?
▶️About 1 in 28,700
If you let the typical tour pro play those three holes 28,700 times, they will only accomplish what Rory did one single time.
Rory did it with the tournament (and the career grand slam) hanging in the balance.
Absolutely incredible.

This epic moment called for the @Hozier yell. Can't. Stop. Rewatching.

Mike Vrabel's first speech to Patriots players has gone viral leaving many fans impressed with his no-BS attitude:
• Leave phones in your bag
• Be on time and don't be late
• Hoods down during meetings
• No maids & valet at the team facility
There is a new culture in New England 👀

Every swing from rare footage of Tiger Woods on the range at Pebble Beach in 1997.
Three months later he won the Masters by 12 shots.

Lag is a byproduct of really high swing speed which has a strong correlation to good golfers. Problem is, you have to get rid of all that angle by the time you hit a ball which is very short. Ams don’t use their hands and arms enough in the first place so they’re usually compounding the error of holding on trying to create more lag. Trying to release it as soon as possible in the downswing is a much much better thought process.

Just two minutes of Tiger Woods hitting balls at the Old Course, with Butch Harmon.
Sit back. Enjoy 🍿

Pete Rose shares tons of baseball knowledge with A-Rod and Frank Thomas. It’s a 6 minute video, but I promise you, it’s the best thing you’ll see about Pete Rose today.

Elite Distance Control
At the end of one of Cam’s range sessions, we would all have a go at giving him a number to hit between 80-150y. Cam didn’t miss a number by more than 2m.
For example, If I had said hit it 132m (or yards) he would hit it within 2m of that number. It was VERY impressive. Some wedge numbers he was given he hit with 0-1m of the yardage. That’s how good these guys are when there is absolutely no pressure & no environmental factors

A high draw from 2024 Masters and U.S. Open low amateur Neil Shipley.
Asked him what he likes most about his own golf swing:
“I think I use the ground well. I get to my left side really well. That’s always been a strength of mine. My arms get a hair more steep than most guys in the backswing, but I don’t care. It just means I can spin it more than most guys. I’ve had the same coach since I was 12, and he’s helped me build a consistent move because his approach was to help me build around my strengths.”
