Sunday afternoon, as Rory Mcilroy He wrote another wild chapter on his great champion record, a thirsty golf fan, watching from his bed in Virginia, realized he had to do some of his writings.
Timothy Gay is the author appointed by Pulitzer of four books, including, that Masters.
The copies of the book had been read, printed, and timely related to a planned May 13th.
This is still the plan.
But Sunday drama in Augusta It was a very dramatic plot turn to ignore.
Gay knew the book would need an update.
“As soon as Rory’s fall and I could compose myself, I was sending messages to my editorial team, voluntarily doing to write a new epilogue,” Gay Golf.com told.
Until Wednesday, he would print his addition, a summary-and rating-Mcilroy’s Grand Slam-Clinching victory, which will be included in the UK and Ireland book publications, as well as digital versions and US reprints. The new section is built on a comprehensive gay story tells of Mcilroy’s life in the course, a strong public existence that began, Tiger Woods aswith an early childhood appearance on national TV. Putting its global superstar in a wider context, Gay traces the origin of the Mcilroy line through generations that led to problems, which left direct wounds to the Mcilroy family and still raised the country during Rory’s formative years. Later, of course, came the civil war in the Golf itself, in which Mcilroy played a prominent role.
One of the topics in “Rory Land” is that Mcilroy’s uneven game in large championships – and shifting attitudes to the PGA Tour/Liv battle – derives part of his shocked personal and professional experiences. In golf and life, he was something of “a man without place”, withdrew to the point of strain by opposing forces.
The book also explores a paradox of the popularity of Mcilroy, who – along with his extraordinary talent – has received from his approach, an admirable feature that has also been a weakness. Mcilroy’s most painful failures in competition, Gay argues, are difficult to separate from his failures to keep the outside world in the breast. (There are boundaries at the opening of Ulsterman as reflected by the fact that Mcilroy did not give him a gay interview, and his camp encouraged others to do the same.)
In this sense, Mcilroy’s mistake marked the march towards the triumph of masters looked like the same-“Roller Coaster Rory”, as Gay says. But it was also a watershed, the end of a long drought of the great champion-you know? – could make a flood of extra victories.
Golf is an extremely unclear, complicated game to anticipate.
But “Rory Land” gets a great right forecast.
In the concluding excerpt of the book, written months ago, Gay imagines a scenario where Mcilroy wins his future monkey and his close friend and compatriot Shane Lowry is there to celebrate with.
The new epilogue, written this week, details that imagined the scene made true.
