To everyone saying:
“Of course he did, it’s Rory, it's not really that big of a deal…”
Let’s add some context.
In his entire career, Rory has had 355 instances where he faced three approach shots in a row from 165 to 212 yards to the hole.
Not once did he hit all three shots inside 9 feet.
Not once.
In those 355 instances, he hit two out of three shots inside 9 feet just four times.
In the final round of The Masters, with the career slam on the line, he hit one to 9 feet, another to 6 feet and another to 2 feet.
So yeah… these shots, especially in that situation?
Off-the-charts good.
To all the haters, it's just math. 😉
P.S.
I also looked at the number of instances where he had three approach shots in a row from 150 to 200 yards.
There were 720 instances.
Not one single time did he hit all three shots inside 9 feet. Not once. (There were 12 times he hit two of three to 9 feet or less)
Bernhard Langer is on pace to make the cut in The Masters. He’s above Jon Rahm and a number of other top pros.
Langer was born the same year as:
Rickey Henderson, Wade Boggs, Julio Franco, Orel Hershiser, Tommy Hearns, Dave Krieg, Willie McGee, and Adrian Newey.

Big day! Super excited to announce GTMfund Fund II, a $54m fund continuing our focus on the very best early-stage B2B SaaS founders.
Fund II is our first institutional fund and was oversubscribed from a target of $50m to $54m.
We did this during one of the toughest fundraising environments - while many emerging funds are shutting down or raising a fraction of what they set out to raise. A testament to our team, our LPs, and the success of our current portfolio.
Since the beginning, our thesis has been simple: for the best founders in the world, capital is a commodity. They get to choose who is on their cap table and what partners they work with. Our singular focus at GTMfund is delivering a value proposition that gives us access to the top .1% of deals.
As software becomes easier to build, faster, and with fewer resources, go-to-market remains one of the last few moats.
The founders want our help. The other VCs in the deal want us there to help. Everyone wins.
And when we invest, we're able to leverage the robust Infrastructure we've built around our active network of GTM leaders to fully support our portfolio companies.
This raise marks a pivotal moment for our firm. We're just getting started. It all starts with our incredible team - Scott Barker, Paul Irving, Sophie Buonassisi, Vaibhavi Nesarikar (and a new addition to be announced next week.)
A huge thank you to the founders we’re privileged to work with every day.
A huge thank you to our Limited Partners who have placed their trust in us and are a massive part of the journey.
None of this is possible without your support!
