Sorry but this is one of the most undeserved Masters wins in history…
Rory literally played Augusta every day for a month straight before the tournament.
How is this allowed by the USGA?
Maybe getting the opportunity to play Augusta National unlimited times the month leading into The Masters, while skipping three straight tournaments, gave Rory McIlroy an unfair advantage over the other competitors… Just maybe.
Congrats, or whatever.
I cannot cheer for Rory - dude is a tool - hates hates hates on USA but lives here - yeah I get Ryder Cup here gets crazy, but I hope he chokes this weekend. #Masters ⛳️
@uxcle I love the Masters too. It's not on terrestrial TV and I take a month's subscription out to watch it, as I did for the Ryder cup. The Open is on BBC so I can watch that without subscription. We have great friends living in Augusta. Tom was in charge of the parking at the Masters!
In these days of sorrow, fear, and unwavering hope in God, I feel closer than ever to the beloved people of Lebanon. The principle of humanity, inscribed in the conscience of every person and recognized in international law, entails a moral obligation to protect the civilian population from the horrific effects of war. I call on the parties in the conflict to declare a ceasefire and urgently seek a peaceful solution.
Today, many Eastern Churches celebrate Easter according to the Julian calendar. In communion of faith in the Risen Lord, I extend my heartfelt wishes for peace to all these communities. Let us #PrayTogether for all those suffering due to war, particularly for the dear people of Ukraine. May the light of Christ bring comfort to afflicted hearts and strengthen the hope for peace. May the international community’s attention to the tragedy of this war not waver!
@robert1lefty I'm really proud to be able to follow a Scot and see you play well on the world stage. I don't want you to be uncouth and disrespectful though. Years ago, I went to The Masters and I know its vibe. Foul language and obscene gestures will ruin your fanbase at home.
@uxcle I'm a bit freaked by Rory treading water yesterday while everyone else surged forward! There are so many worthies in the mix now. I hope Rory comes out today, guns blazing and it makes for an exciting finale! Enjoy it! (It finishes so late here, I'll struggle to stay up for it)
@McInnispicks@Robinhocfc89 Because he's the champion, he'll get a round. Hardly anyone else can do that.
He can use a private jet because he's very wealthy because he's good enough to play well in tournaments.
What's your problem?
Just loving reading the comments from Americans who love to hate McIlroy! Me? - I'm a fan! Being European (I won't say British because McIlroy identifies as Irish not British, though from Belfast) I just want him to do well - and Justin, Shane and Tommy! #Masters
When I went to bed last night, Rory McIlroy had just birdied the 12th. So I missed the amazing flourish of 6 birdies to finish his round! Well done, Rory! I would love to see you winning the green jacket again this year. #Masters
Absurd and inhuman violence is spreading ferociously through the sacred places of the Christian East, profaned by the blasphemy of war and the brutality of business, with no regard for people’s lives, which are considered at most collateral damage of self-interest. But no gain can be worth the life of the weakest, children, or families. No cause can justify the shedding of innocent blood.
Hundreds of millions of people throughout the world are immersed in extreme poverty. Yet, disproportionate wealth remains in the hands of a few. It is an unjust scenario, in the face of which we cannot fail to question ourselves and commit to change things. There is no lack of resources at the root of disparities, but the need to address solvable problems related to a more equitable distribution of wealth, to be achieved with moral sense and honesty.
