I was really hoping Rickie would breakthrough and win today. I hope he can get that win under his belt soon. Jordan did it last year, so hopefully Rickie can do it this year!

Yeah.  That would have been nice. Would have gotten him back in the Masters.  Hopefully he can put some more top 10’s together and get up there on the points list. 
 

Although I will say, I never hate seeing a Rory win!

Impressive to be on that list. Also crazy to think he’s that old already.
