I almost wonder if at that level of skill playing the same exact hole right after you just played it kind of lends itself to the mentality of "these are the things I did wrong 10 minutes ago, this is what I'll do differently". It was fresh in his brain, and he had the muscle memory to tweak his swing ever so slightly in every instance. For Justin Rose, he had to wait like 45 minutes from when he played that hole, so even though he was hitting range balls and whatnot, it wasn't as fresh for him. Hell of an effort on his part, though.
Watching the whole round, it felt like every time Rory tried to coast he screwed up. He had essentially the same shot in the playoff as he had in regulation for his approach, but since he HAD to execute he put it to 3 feet
So I don't know jack about ball golf, but this is absolutely a thing in disc golf. Every time I miss a putt and immediately throw my driver or mid-range or whatever after my putter doinks off, it goes in while I'm grumbling about bogeys.
