Young Rory pre 2015

I wrote the below in response to someone when I was talking about Rory and what a killer he was back in the day, this person is young & mostly remembers the past 7+ years where Rory was tentative, & frankly choked a lot 

In his early days he was brash, was such a fighter, he had some BRUTAL chokes very young and just bounced back the next major to dominate when everyone thought he’d need a while to recover

He had such “moxy”, an attitude of “I’m the best & you will have to TAKE it from me”, he held off a peaking Phil & Rickie Fowler (back when Fowler was a perennial contender) at a major in the US with the crowd for his opponents and it getting very dark & they were doing their gamesmanship tricks together to throw him off

Those days he went for everything, no hesitation 

Once he let the foot off the gas & was more busy with other stuff he became a different person, he was all corporate & PR shaped etc
