I was really disappointed in Rory’s game plan. He seemed to be playing safe, defensive golf. Everyone knew that someone and possibly many we’re going to go low. Rory looked like he thought that a mediocre round would seal the win for him. As it turned out there were a lot of low rounds. Rory, Hovland and SW Kim we’re the only ones in the top 20 to not break 70. Rory missed a lot of putts that barely made it to the hole. If he had hit a few of those with a bit more speed he would have made a few and possibly won or forced a playoff. I take nothing away from what Cam Smith did. Shooting 64 in the final round was amazing. It put a lot of pressure on Rory but Rory didn’t respond.
