Yeah, you'd probably expect Rory to chill out or lose motivation after finally winning all the majors, but he's actually still pretty pumped to compete. He said he just wants to enjoy his career more and not stress so much about his stats or chasing after what Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus did. It sounds like the pressure is finally off his back, so he can just focus on being his best.

I totally get that because sometimes when you’ve reached a huge goal, stuff that used to stress you stops mattering as much. He even mentioned any new wins will just feel like a bonus instead of something he HAS to do. I think that could actually make him play better, ’cause he’s not as tense or obsessed with breaking records.

I've noticed when athletes stop obsessing over numbers and just have fun, you see their real talent come through. That’s what I think is happening with Rory right now!
