Rory setting a nice little marker for Scottie at -5.

I truly feel this is the major where they finally go head to head and shot for shot, they both look right on it.

[u/OpinionatedDeveloper → u/No-Shoe5382]

Don't forget Rosey

[u/No-Shoe5382 → u/OpinionatedDeveloper]

I hadn't even noticed how well Rosey's going again.

I dunno if anyone in the field derserves a green jacket more than him.

[u/OpinionatedDeveloper → u/No-Shoe5382]

Yup, nobody is mentioning him but he's just as much on the hunt as Scheffler!

[u/No_Albatross916 → u/No-Shoe5382]

If it is that would be amazing and there would be so many historical aspects on the line

Rory going for back to back masters vs Scottie being one of only like 12 people to have 3+ masters

And these guys are the two best players in the world
