I was probably more "worried" (didn't care if he won or not - he played great) about Gillis than Rory was though, right? How many times has Gillis been paired with the would-be #1 golfer in the world on Sunday playing a couple strokes behind most of the round? And as someone on TGC said, securing 2nd or 3rd money for a guy like Gillis would be pretty huge.
I was just thinking maybe Rory "knew" that par golf would stave off Gillis and English and figured Tiger would have to tie the course record (which was set on Friday), to even get to a playoff. If he did, he was right. I just wonder if the people who think "Tiger almost came back to win!" are being short-sighted wrt how Rory needed to play Sunday. And I'm not talking about people itt, but just casualfans across the world.
Anyway I didn't even get to see Rory at the bear trap/ending as I forgot to DVR NBC so my GC footage cut off when Rory was on 15. And by the time I got to this point the live tourney was a half-hour over.
