What was Bennett Stirtz thinking as the final seconds of his college career ran out?
“That this was all going to be over. It was tough. Obviously you want to get to the Final Four and win the whole thing. Everything comes to an end at a point, and you’ve got to be thankful. Nothing’s going to satisfy you in life except for God. That’s why I’m thankful that I put my trust in Him.”

What Rory did on 15, 16 and 17 in the final round is BONKERS. 1 in 28,700 chance.
🤯🤯🤯
#15▶️207 yards to 6 feet
#16▶️170 yards to 9 feet
#17▶️196 yards to 2 feet
The chances a tour pro hits each of those shots as close as he did:
#15▶️1.99%
#16▶️7.91%
#17▶️0.37%
The chances a tour pro hits approach shots that good on three consecutive holes?
▶️About 1 in 28,700
If you let the typical tour pro play those three holes 28,700 times, they will only accomplish what Rory did one single time.
Rory did it with the tournament (and the career grand slam) hanging in the balance.
Absolutely incredible.
