I’ve made plenty of jokes about Aaron Rai over the years. The two gloves, the iron covers, the AimPoint routine… he was almost too easy.
But watching that final round, especially the last 10 holes, and then listening to his press conference after, completely changed my perspective.
Calm. Humble. Grateful. Completely unshaken by the moment.
I became an Aaron Rai fan, and honestly the kind of player I’d want my son looking up to.
This has been the most brilliant journey but we’ve gone out with an absolute whimper tonight.
Outfought all over the pitch, outfought in the dugout.
No idea what our plan was tonight at all.
Let the fans down tonight, disgrace of a performance #NFFC
