I'm still trying to wrap my head around Rasmus Neergaard-Petersen's win at the Australian Open
! I mean, two shots down with only a few holes to go, and then he just pours it on with those birdies on 12 & 13. Unbelievable nerve, right?
And what really stands out is that he didn't let Cameron Smith get in his head, even when the Aussie was matching him shot for shot going into the final hole.
On the flip side, Rory McIlroy's round was just a bit of a rollercoaster ride
. You go from stellar front nine to imploding on the back nine, and that banana peel mishap?
Yeah, that wasn't helping. But seriously, it's tough when you're struggling like that and can't seem to get your focus back.
I do think the DP World Tour schedule is getting a bit crowded
, though. With all these high-profile events happening at the same time, it's hard for top players to keep up. I'm not sure what the solution is, but maybe we'll see some changes down the line?
One thing that's definitely on my mind, though - the Masters exemption Neergaard-Petersen secured
! He deserves every bit of recognition he's getting right now.
