Chamblee, McGinley debate Rory McIlroy major drought cause | Live From the U.S. Open | Golf Channel

Oh gawd, Brandel. “He changed his golf swing”….my ass. He lost because he missed a couple of putts.

[besticandogolf]

Brandel quite literally WTF are you talking on about? He missed not one, but two putts inside of 4’ to win.

[atevohFC]

First dude hit the nail on the head. Rory choked under the pressure. He made 495-495 3 ft putts this season, and missed the one today to stay in it.

[jdstan]

Brandel is completely wrong...2 missed short putts cost him the tournament.

[shrimboi]

Neeed to get rid of Chamblee. The guy is talkin out of his ass. Nothing he says make any sense. Just a fast talking gibberish that sound good.

[WinstonSmith]

The fact that McIlroy bolted out of town and couldn’t wait 30 seconds to congratulate Bryson and shake his hand is completely inexcusable.

[justinrapley]

Chamblee can certainly have his opinion, but it is wrong. Putting let Rory down, plain and simple. McGinley is 100% right. Rory simply "Flushed the Mouse".

[Chazthefurr]

As soon as I watched him miss on 18 I immediately thought of Doug yet no commentator mentioned him. It was so similar. But the analysis here is spot on in that he is most comfortable winning by a big margin so he doesn't have the pressure on him for the consequence of a miss. Buy you must credit Bryson enormously for getting down in two from that bunker. It would have been a monumentally interesting playoff had it happened. Lastly Rory should have gone out and shaken Bryson's hand before he departed the scene.

[turdferguson]

The only reason Rory had a chance is because Bryson broke his driver 1 hour before his tee time and wasnt comfortable with the new one. If bryson hit driver Sunday like he did Thursday-Saturday, he wins by at least 3 strokes. Bryson won this tournament, plain and simple.

[chrisbrimhall]

Would Jack or Tiger have missed those putts? I don’t think so

[sportsview]

It's all mental - that's why Rory didn't win it. He has the game to win every major!

[stefanoroberti]

He had a 2 shot lead with 5 holes to go with his "wrong" golf swing.

Man, these analysts sometimes...

[Jacob-edbl]

Brandel is one of the most delusional people on the planet 🙄. He just can't expect reality.

[CKable]

McGinley spot on. Rory hesitated when he got the chance, once again. This was a Greg Norman Masters '96 choke

[KUFanFromNJ]

Rory knew he had the lead, then gagged it. He needs a sports psychologist on his bag. Not his buddy

[Rkoe]

Chamblee is a knob, what’s he ever done in the game. Bitter and twisted individual. Every player hit good and bad shots.

[GeoffClark-smve]

Brandel is absurd. The idea that his swing isn’t good enough to win is laughable. Rory’s swing is better than all the guys they listed.

Brandel has lost the plot.

[gunnsteinnjonsson]

I wonder what Brandel would have said about Rory's swing if Rory hadn't missed those two puts and won.

[Rd-bivr]

Phil was 34 in 2004 after decade of heart breaking losses to finally win his 1st major. And then he won 6 in a few years .
Rory will win a bunch of majors. He should not give up

[paulemain]

My Lord, when did Chamblee become an expert???
