jpq1999: Good to see the master of hyperbole spencer comes over and speaks through his sphincter on Tiger and Sergio here as well-lolHe knows EVERYTHING about an era he wasn’t alive for. Wait, I think that’s the way it is on every blog. Wait until you guys are in your 40’s, you’ll see what I have to deal with!

/get off my lawn’d

face it, jpq…the new era is better. just like the next generation of golfers that come after tiger will be better than this one.

He knows EVERYTHING about an era he wasn’t alive for. Wait, I think that’s the way it is on every blog. Wait until you guys are in your 40’s, you’ll see what I have to deal with!

andres romero or van de velde.

Those were on a whole different level of collapse. Norman-esque even.

HawkEye19:
Just not at Carnoustie.

i dunno…maybe this time he doesn’t get the shaft from the golf gods. maybe his putt to win doesn’t hit a little chunk by the hole or maybe his shot that hits the flag doesn’t fly 20 feet away.

he collapsed, but not nearly as bad as andres romero or van de velde.

spencer096:
if greg fucking norman can win two majors, phil can win three, and tom weiskopf can win one, sergio will do just fine.eventually, he’s going to win a british open, where he’s comfortable enough on the greens (because they’re slower) to over come his brainfarts.a green jacket is probably way out of the question tho.

Just not at Carnoustie.

HawkEye19:
I’d not be surprised if he never wins a major.By now, it has to be in his head to a large degree in each one.He’s got the skills to win, but how about his head?

it’s so hard to defend him anymore.im still his biggest fan, and his ballstriking is as good as ever, but he’s just such a fucking headcase on the greens, it’s insane.i just don’t understand it at all.at the us open, he missed like 5 GIR’s the whole week but couldn’t sink a thing.he’s GOING to win a major though…nobody doubts that.

i was hoping for something much more vicious from you.

he contends in a lot of them…and is in pretty much every tourney he enters because his ballstriking is so solid.

sparty: what is more shocking is that Sergio is number 5.how many majors, sergio? how many?

Johnny: What I learned from this post is that Paul Casey is the number 3 golfer in the world?!?!?! Really. I’m shocked at this

no shit…he has ONE pga tour win. ONE.

so why is he so high? because euro tour events are weighted way to heavily. probably why sergio is so high.

oh, and not on there? paddy harrington, he of multiple majors. why? because he sucks and misses the cut a ton.

/screw you paddy

sparty: what is more shocking is that Sergio is number 5.how many majors, sergio? how many?

He has the same number of majors as Paul Casey. Hell Casey has only won once on the PGA tour (10 times in Europe though)

Hell Casey has only 4 top tens in majors and 10 miss cuts

sparty: You cannot tell me that there are 10 guys on tour right now that do the same to Tiger when he is on his game.

no, and that’s MY point. tiger is SOOOO much better than jack in their respective primes that it’s foolish to even compare the two.

think about this…phil, vijay, ernie els and retief goosen are all all-time greats. phil especially is one of the most talented ever to touch a club, and will no doubt go down as a top 10 all-time player. they all have 3 majors (goose has 2) because tiger is THAT good.

but…i should’ve said tiger WAS that good, because now, there’s a flotilla of dudes who are just as good, yes, even when tiger’s on his game. at tiger’s own tourney, he was firing on all cylinders and shot a 67 at a us open worthy course, yet got lapped by hunter mahan by FIVE strokes. there’s so much talent on the PGA these days it’s insane…

and yet, tiger is still the best player on the planet without question. my point is this…there ARE tons of guys who can go toe to toe with tiger, but at the end of the day, it won’t matter because tiger is so fucking good that he’ll do whatever it takes to one-up them.

/i realize i’ve contradicted myself a thousand times over in that comment
//i heart golf

but you actually helped prove my point by saying there were 10 guys that gave jack fits, even when he was playing his best (enter Tom Watson). You cannot tell me that there are 10 guys on tour right now that do the same to Tiger when he is on his game.
