Phil or Greg Norman were labeled as chokers. McIlroy seems to have gotten a pass today. One more crash and burn like that, and he will be labeled a choker too, fair or not.

McIlroy is a 21 year old. He held up well through is first three rounds. Today, the 4th round, was the test. His youth and inexperience showed. That's not a choker, that's a young man being tried beyond his capabilities. I can't say how he'll factor what happened into his development, but I wish him well. I hope he comes back and succeeds. Look at Dustin Johnson for a lesson on that...

Well, that label of Phil being a choker was really accurate, wasn't it? As for Norman, it was, but how can we say that about a 21 year old who was good enough to lead through 3 rounds of the Masters?

This is a stupid discussion. The kid has his life before him. Maybe, in all fairness, we should wait and see how that plays out...??????
