00:00and we saw Rory McIlroy become the first ever golfer to make four doubles or worse at the
00:05masters and still put on that green jacket in Butler cabin that mental fortitude was tested
00:11on Sunday and it seemed as though some of those mental skeletons in the closet
00:16might win the day Rory did in the playoff hall on Sunday evening at Augusta Keith the first ever
00:22golfer to make four double bogeys or worse and win a green jacket the sixth ever golfer to win
00:27the career grand slam a victory on Sunday and finally putting on the green jacket what does
00:33it do for Rory McIlroy's legacy in the history of this great game well you know five major
00:39championships that puts them in the same spot with probably one of his heroes Seve it puts them in the
00:44modern spot next to Brooks at five Phil he's chasing still he's one short of Phil at six uh Palmer Arnold
00:51Palmer's at seven you know we've got Tom Watson at eight with a couple other guys and the reason I
00:57bring this up guys is that if there was a year where you wanted like a thousand pound gorilla lifted
01:02from your shoulders and you were Rory McIlroy in really really fine career form it is these venues
01:08that we have coming up Quail Hollow he's won there four times followed by Oakmont now Oakmont the U.S.
01:13Open it was not his greatest in 2016 he missed the cut but that's a bomber's paradise we know that
01:18he's got the skill set for that he's got a zillion top tens in the last decade in the U.S. Open
01:23more than any other players that will be in the field and then the next one Royal Portrush where
01:28he grew up in Northern Ireland I mean we could be talking about an actual grand slam without a ton
01:35of hyperbole guys if he continues to play like this he Bryson Scotty Xander these guys are going
01:41to be a part of all the storylines for these next three major championships and there's no doubt in my
01:46mind now that he has this green jacket he's going to play a little bit freer in these championships
01:51and not miss those three foot nine inch putts I think he's a serious threat
01:55to become more than a generational golfer
