@Daniel_Rapaport And last year people started to put Xander in the discussion (for winning the same 2 majors btw) and the argument was "winning 2 majors is special"... why less majors wins, less win and not being the best player stats wise would prevail this year?
@Daniel_Rapaport If we only judge by this year it's Scottie, i feel we take too much into account the context of Rory's career in the balance... and not so much for Scottie, let's not forget that the guy won two majors that he did not have in the past
@Daniel_Rapaport -secondly, both had heartbreaking losses 2 majors before the win (Adam at the British open in 2012, Rory at Pinehurst)
-then, they were not in the conversation in the following major.
-Finally, both got it done in a playoff at Augusta against a major champion over 40 y.o
@Daniel_Rapaport One more thought: I found rory's victory has a lot of similarities with the one from Adam Scott :
- First, Rory said that he felt he was kinda trying to win his first one again in a sense, and Adam was obviously looking for his first victory back in 2013.
