AUGUSTA — Rory McIlroy walked off the green and through the crowd chanting his name, and he kept looking up, like he was taking a hot shower after an impossibly long day. He had made far too many mistakes to win. But he hit far too many great shots to lose. You wanted Rory McIlroy to win the Masters? This is how Rory McIlroy wins the Masters. Not one bit of what happened here would have made sense for any other golfer in the world.

AUGUSTA — Rory McIlroy arrived at the 10th tee, looked up at the leaderboard, took a drink and exhaled. He looked down. Then he looked back up at the leaderboard, its numbers forming a message, like a computer code: He had gone from chaser to chase-ee. McIlroy began the third round 3-3-3-3-3-3, rocketing from 6 under to 11 under. On the par-5 8th hole, he found one of the deepest bunkers on the course and made his first bogey of the tournament.

AUGUSTA — Jon Rahm spent some time Friday afternoon, as golfers often do, vaguely aware he might sound like a lunatic.

And so he smiled Friday, allowing himself long pauses, and he answered every question, and ultimately, this is how he summed up his game:“It feels very close. I wish I could explain it.

AUGUSTA - Rory McIlroy tried something different this year: A first-round collapse to lose the Masters. McIlroy was 4 under through 14 holes and even par at the end, and while he is only four strokes behind the trio in second place, I don't believe for a second that McIlroy can win this. I don't even think McIlroy believes it. As he left the 18th green and walked across the 1st hole on his way to the clubhouse, he exhaled like a man who had just authored a disaster.

A few weeks ago, unprompted, a female colleague raved about how nice Jon Wertheim is to her. Jon is a terrific and generous person who made a comment he regrets. It wasn’t characteristic of his 3 decades in journalism or a window into his worldview. It was a mistake.
