A 4-shot lead through 36 is a lot different than a 6-shot lead through 54. Quit talking in such absolute terms, you know better than that

It's actually sad seeing Tiger play like John Daly

Actually if there was a lesson to be learned from Nate Silver and the World Cup debacle it isn't that you shouldn't express certainty or overconfidence, it's that you should just be right when you do. I'm right so it works out.

yeah, and see Rory 2011 Masters, Greg Norman in 96, Adam Scott in 2012, hell, Rory had a 5-shot lead in the Honda with 12 holes to go three months ago and lost

Tiger is clearly in peak physical shape LOL. Lol at thinking olds who have had several serious knee and back surgeries will hold up at anywhere near the historical average much less some made up "olds in 15 years" standards.

When Rory ships, he's probably gonna make some dumb "I was right and schu was wrong" post too, even though I fully think Rory will win

Solid hedging by the non-baids crowd tho. Can still say you were right without risking anything once it's done tomorrow.

Unlike you, I don't have this weird obsession about calling a shot and having it turn out to be right. I recognize that Rory is the overwhelming favorite to win, and likely will, but the tournament isn't over.

Shot, Rory

I like Woz-less Rory, but this posting display kind of makes me want to see him lose.

my problem with that poast was the thick coat of condescension combined with almost full wrongness less than 1 hour after the poast was made
