Agree Michael and to add context on how difficult it is for PGA Pros playing in this Major Championship against the games very best - in the last 30 years his 15th place finish last year was the only top 30 finish from over 150 of the top PGA Pros who have competed 💪👏

Final numbers on the 13 holes where Rory hit driver today.

10/13 fairways (one first cut)
Shortest: 313 yards
Longest: 358 yards
Average distance: 333 yards
Average ball speed: 188 mph
Strokes gained: off the tee: 2.99 (inc. the 5 wood he hit).

One of the great driving days

The fairways are very narrow & tree lined at Quail and to see both stripe the driver so long, as well as shaped just a little both ways, takes serious skill & commitment - skills that only a few have - sit back and admire 💪Sky Sports Golf

Great battle going on with Xander & Rory on a brilliant course - both needing to win for different confidence reasons as we go into next weeks Major Sky Sports Golf

RIP a very nice man who always had words of encouragement for me in both my golf career & TV work

This company that Rory now sits in should frame a perspective on what he has achieved in the game so far. Yes there is a 10 year battle going on to get over the line again in Majors but his career to date is one of the greatest the game has ever seen 👏💪

Great win for the lads and not unexpected - Shane’s ball striking stats at the Masters were terrific and Rory seemed re-energised again in Shane’s company 🏆💪☘️

Evidence that he didn’t have his ‘A’ game yet still wins by 4 - he’s certainly some player at this moment in time and I wonder how long he can keep this incredible standard up. Congrats to Scottie and all his team 💪

Scottie Scheffler recently called this the biggest par save of his career.

At Q-School in 2018, he needed up and down on the 72nd hole to earn guaranteed Korn Ferry Tour starts.

The fine line of golf.

Hope you all enjoyed the Masters - congrats Scottie. It’s always a fun & busy week working both Sky & Golf Channel. Terrific to have Masters winning credibility in Nick & Butch join us Sky Sports Golf & always learn from the hard working pros that Rich & Brandel are 💪Golf Channel

Course has softened overnight and some pins accessible close to slopes so it’s go time on Masters Sunday Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Conditions now starting to get more challenging as winds increase & swirl & greens start to dry - should be great watching the ebbs and flows develop today & over the next few days Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Play under way with 2 hour 30 min rain delay - greens very soft and very different to practice - it’s a chance to come out of the blocks fast with these favourable softer conditions Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Jim Nantz put it best when he said his iconic voice & calls will be replayed in 200 years time. “Yes Sir” the great Verne Lundquist on our Golf Channel set last night covering his last Masters

Masters week up and running. Weather forecast terrible for Thursday & stoppages likely but Fri - Sun have great forecasts💪. Scheffler strong favourite due mainly to his brilliance in ball striking. Approach play usually the key stat for success here Sky Sports Golf Golf Channel

Putting on any event in Ireland is always a great golf event.

Although our country has changed dramatically since, I loved growing up in 1980’s Dublin. There was something special about how simple & straight forward life was back then 💪🇮🇪

Champ 🇮🇪

Cristiano tricked people into believing he's poor just to see how many people would play with him

Happy #StPatricksDay ☘️
