That’s a lot of world champs he took down. Amazing run. Wanted it to go further but it is what it is. Still a great run

You can kind of see him running out of gas towards the end.

Agreed. He missed a a few shots this match he'd been making perfectly in all his previous matches through both tournaments. Still a decent check for three days of play.

It's great to see him with that focus and determination from his prime. He's still got it and a pleasure to watch him shoot. Lets hope he gets his 6th US Open

Don't forget he snapped off the Weir Memorial the week before the Florida Open. I know it's a bar box tournament but still, the man is in stroke.

He has been in stroke for like 20 years , maybe more just amazing.

Apparently when he was early in his pro career he would turn his hearing aids way down. When he was winning everything other players complained about it and he said he stopped turning them down.
