On any given weekend, my guess is that he wouldn't spray a wedge from 86 yards (#13) or from 125 yards (#18).
But, Sunday afternoon at Augusta, carrying the pressure and burden of his first green jacket, is vastly different.
Second shots on #15 and #18 (playoff hole) reflects his immense talent. May lack Tiger's killer closing ability, but Rory showed his greatness.
Very happy for Rory.
Rory is a class act. His rollercoaster final round embodies his grit.
