What Rory did on 15, 16 and 17 in the final round is BONKERS. 1 in 28,700 chance. 🤯🤯🤯 #15▶️207 yards to 6 feet #16▶️170 yards to 9 feet #17▶️196 yards to 2 feet The chances a tour pro hits each of those shots as close as he did: #15▶️1.99% #16▶️7.91% #17▶️0.37% The chances a tour pro hits approach shots that good on three consecutive holes? ▶️About 1 in 28,700 If you let the typical tour pro play those three holes 28,700 times, they will only accomplish what Rory did one single time. Rory did it with the tournament (and the career grand slam) hanging in the balance. Absolutely incredible.

To everyone saying: “Of course he did, it’s Rory, it's not really that big of a deal…” Let’s add some context. In his entire career, Rory has had 355 instances where he faced three approach shots in a row from 165 to 212 yards to the hole. Not once did he hit all three shots inside 9 feet. Not once. In those 355 instances, he hit two out of three shots inside 9 feet just four times. In the final round of The Masters, with the career slam on the line, he hit one to 9 feet, another to 6 feet and another to 2 feet. So yeah… these shots, especially in that situation? Off-the-charts good. To all the haters, it's just math. 😉 P.S. I also looked at the number of instances where he had three approach shots in a row from 150 to 200 yards. There were 720 instances. Not one single time did he hit all three shots inside 9 feet. Not once. (There were 12 times he hit two of three to 9 feet or less)
