00:00Let's get to your outrights now, Keith, and let's do one main one first and then give
00:08me the rest after the break, because it's a big one at the top.
00:12You talk about big names.
00:14Rory McIlroy has been a big topic of discussion, of course, some close calls in majors the
00:19last few years, and I couldn't believe when I opened the mailbox this morning, Keith,
00:24and I saw it.
00:25Go ahead and tell me about Rory.
00:27I tell you what, I still can't believe it.
00:29But don't you know, Carver, we're taking Rory McIlroy and Rory Troon this week, and
00:34I love it.
00:35We're going to ride the rollercoaster the whole way.
00:38And tell you what, since he had those two wins before the PGA, has anyone been playing
00:42better?
00:43Yes, I know Scottie's had some wins.
00:44Yes, I know Bryson won the U.S. Open.
00:46But Rory's been really consistent, and he's been consistent in the Open Championship as
00:51well as other majors.
00:52But since 2014, when he won at Royal Liverpool, he's had seven starts.
00:56He's had five top 10s in the Open Championship.
00:59The guy has been absolutely electric over there in this, and you know what, over the
01:04last six years, I mean, over his last 13 major starts, he has nine top 10s.
01:09He's been really good in major championships.
01:11I guarantee you this, much like our picks last week, come Sunday, Rory is going to be
01:16a big part of this discussion, and he totally fits in.
01:19He grew up on this style of seaside links over there at Hollywood and Royal Portrush.
01:24We are right there on the Irish Sea.
01:26He's going to feel right at home.
01:27All of these wind changes, flighting the ball, and playing just real golf, there is no doubt
01:33that he is the guy that can adapt, adjust, and do what he needs to do.
01:37And what we saw last week in Scotland, over there at the Scottish Open, T4 was perfect.
01:44No foot on the accelerator, just cruise into a top five and get ready for what's going
01:49to be just an absolute mental test this week over there on the Firth of Clyde.
