Inexperience cost Rory. 10 requires a big slinging hook to get down the hill. He used a driver and did not aim enough right to offset an overly hooked shot. You can't birdie that hole anyway with a closely hit second, everyone who birdies there makes a longish putt. In 1982, Weiskopf was a couple strokes back of Stadler after birdieng 9. He hit a driver deep in the woods and was off the leader board. Hit the three wood, aim to the right second cut and sling the draw. If it does not come off you are left with 210 from a hanging lie, but at least you are not in some cabin's barbecue. Great tournament, lots to learn, amazing how well Schwarzel keeps his swing on plane and what terrific extensor action he has. In his pre shot routine, start-down waggles, a swing any G.O.L.F. enthusiast would enjoy watching.
Throughout the week he had a tendency to pull his putts left of the hole when he was a bit on the defence, and the more serious things got the more putts he missed left. On Sunday he started to do that right away, and he wasted a few on the green before the tee shot on 10.
I've seen this before - and also experienced it myself - under "slightly" (grin) pressurized circumstances. A club tournament or simply heading for a great round and often it's the short game that starts to fail first. The dreaded tee shot usually comes a few holes later.
It just goes to show that Rory is human like the rest of us. It was painful to watch his meltdown. I was impressed with how he handled himself and the press afterwards. And I will be rooting for him to win a major title soon.

Charl and Louis seem to have the same steadfastness to their routines both Have about the best swings I have seen. Jason daY also has a great swing and really pushes it to the max, I noticed more and more players setting up with a bent right arm more on plane right forearm less of the both arms stiff look.
It is a game of inches. Tiger missed enough puts by fewer inches than Schwartzel holed two unbelievable shots from the fairway to finish out of the money. Tiger appears to be very close.

I noticed that too. Nice arm sets. Man I like Rory's motion ....... But he straightened his Right Arm during his Hands Forward Press. Not saying it can't be done, nor do I wish to sound like more of an A Hole than I already am but I bet a little change there would help him,as it did me.

I used to LOVE his swing......this week though all I could think of was how he seems to have one of the straightest right arms at address. It looks so weird now, I guess I'm a full member of the cult
