Calling the name “Four mistakes worth dismissing” by Caddie Harry Diamond

In the latest episode of podcastTalk Birdie To Me, When chatting with Nick O’Hern – another former player Mark Allen said that Mcilroy was difficult to win The Masters without replacing Caddie. Even when Rory won history, Allen continued to attack Diamond and listed “4 errors that could be fired” during the competition at Augusta National.

1. Hole 7 – Pampas:Mcilroy chose to polish from Bunker, a high risk shot. Allen said Diamond should have stopped this shot.

2. Hole 13 – Azalea:According to Allen, Diamond almost stood at the ball of the third shot, affecting the vision and ball line of Mcilroy.

3. Hole 18 – Holly:McIlroy’s Drive almost fell into the right Bunker. With a familiar trajectory from right to left, Allen said that Caddie needs to orient the tactics safer, instead of letting Mcilroy close to the chess and close the sand trap.
4. General tactical details:Allen emphasized that in high pressure situations, Diamond should have given more clear instructions instead of letting McILROY decide with high risk.

Mcilroy: “This victory of my is also Harry’s”

However, contrary to the criticism angle, Mcilroy himself expressed deep gratitude for his close companion. During the press conference after the victory, Mcilroy said:

“To share this moment with him – after so many times of non -successful, after all the unfounded criticism he suffered from those who didn’t understand golf – this victory belonged to both of us.”

Mcilroy also showed absolute faith in Diamond – who has accompanied him through many large and small tournaments for many years. The fact that he chose to keep this caddie friend instead of changing, as many people proposed, is a clear evidence for loyalty and mutual trust.
