that's saying something.

That's like asking is it fair that Kobe would get access to the gym at 3AM and would work out for 5 hours by himself before his teammates showed up for team practice?

So so very dumb. Greatness finds a way.

The average idiot just thinks certain people are just born with incredible talent. They have no idea the lengths that the people at the top go to in order to achieve greatness. 98% of professional athletes are professional athletes because they have spent 10,000 hours or more in dedicated practice honing their skills....and even if some people understand that fact, most still don't comprehend how much time that actually is and how hard that is to accumulate. And the 10k plus guys are just the "average" pros. The guys at the top like Kobe, Rory, Mike, Djokovic, Tiger, etc are relentless to another level. They'll all have 20,000 hours plus of dedicated practice just working on their skills and thousands upon thousands of other hours lifting, stretching, doing cardio and conditioning, plyos, and recovery.

Rory is just willing to do what it takes to put himself in the best position to win. It doesn't guarantee he will win it, he's just doing what he did because it probably gives him a 1-2% edge which probably results in a 1 stroke advantage. Everyone else just wasn't willing to sacrifice what he was for 1%. That's the difference in a great athlete and the other professional athletes.

None of what he did was an unfair advantage. It was the separator.
