Live from Southern California, this is the Jim Rome show.

And he finished.

And he's a great example of hard work, perseverance, and mindset.

This is why I don't understand why there's so much hate for this guy right now.

I mean, why?

Is it because he's a euro?

Is it because he's now arguably the greatest euro ever?

Is it why so many people want to find any reason they can to hate on this guy,

no matter how dumb that reason might be?

As an example, the morons who are out

here is saying he cheated. He cheated in his preparation for the tournament. You want to hear an all-time

dumb take? This notion that he cheated because he got there early and practiced and stayed there for a few weeks

and practiced on that court. I want to on that track. I want to play this clip as to why people

are so bent. Here is Rory explaining his prep for this year's Masters.

This place feels like my home course.

I haven't played anywhere else in the last two or three weeks, really.

So I felt prepared in that way.

I felt prepared that wherever I hit it on the golf course,

I sort of know what to do. I know where to miss.

You know, I'm pretty comfortable with all the shots around the greens.

And that that's cheating.

Getting there early and familiarizing yourself once again with the track, getting comfortable.
