And the amazing thing is, the media instantly gives him a free pass. If Tiger or Sergio had done that, whoa...golf story of the month. Just goes to show you how far a pleasant personality and an impish smile gets you in this world.
 
Disagree, if Tiger had done it in his prime it would have been discussed as a testament to his focus, drive, and determination.
 
Tiger, in his prime, didn't hit it in the lake at Doral. He won it seven times.
 
Saw it live. Really got some nice air on the throw.

Yes Rory does get a pass because he's great with the media. When he stinks it up he sticks around and takes his medicine. No running to his car and disappearing off the course. After the round he made jokes about it like saying he doesn't normally carry a 3 iron or really need it so he figured "why not?". Also said since his play wouldn't get him on SportsCenter so he had to do something.
 
It's all about getting clicks. Rory story gets golf fans but Tiger story gets broad appal.

Broad appeal ? I see what you did there and I like it !
 
Wonder if gold would ever put in an Equipment Abuse rule like Pro Tennis? Hopefully not..this stuff is funny..and we've all 'been there"
