I like how he's decided to tank Thursdays to keep it interesting for the fans. What's a great guy

If he wins does he take over #1?
Jordan Spieth vs Rory McIlroy: GOAT/Major Championships Chase Quote
07-11-2015 , 10:36 PM
what i saw was he needs a top 7 this week + an open win to take over #1
Jordan Spieth vs Rory McIlroy: GOAT/Major Championships Chase Quote
07-11-2015 , 10:37 PM
so basically he'll be #1 in 8 days

That sucks. I know he's going to get it for sure now that Rory's hurt but after the media made such a big deal of him playing at the John Deere I thought it would be cool for him to win it, taking over #1, then hop a jet to the Home of Golf.

Him winning the Open and attaining #1 would be pretty much the coolest thing, ever, though.

Any way you slice it his life is decent.

Just when the EUROs thought they could claim the world's best golfer for a change, a young Texan came along ...

Martin Kaymer, Lee Westwood, Luke Donald, Rory.

Yep "for a change". Europe has had a stranglehold on #1 since Tiger's first demise. Tiger did get it back once, though.

American Bubba could have gotten there if he played more and didn't have the mental makeup of a 7 year old.

Americans (except for one of them) haven't had much success getting to #1. Couples in 92, Lehman in 97, and Duval in 99 are the only Americans not nicknamed after a cat to ever be OWGR #1.

Speef is Speeeeefing. Huge rush to close and tie for the top.

Yep he's teeing off on 18 tied for the lead. Leader is in the clubhouse and his partner Lee is also tied with a chance to win here.

Any of these 3 winning would be cool. Danny Lee with back to back wins would be awesome. And "Old Tom" Gillis, at age 46 getting his first win would be cool.

As much as I'd like to see another playoff, Spieth is in perfect shape off the drive (195 from middle of the fairway) to get his approach really close for the birdie and the win.

I'd love to see Spieth ship this.

Yeah poor Gillis wobbled home but held it together well enough. Rooting for Speef but wouldn't hate the old man winning.

Danny Lee going for it. Almost a great shot. lol IBF talking about playing to save par when Spieth is where he is and par only gets you a playoff at best anyway.

Speef misses right in these spots sometimes.

Held on. Playoff time looks like.

Spieth makes this 100% of the time.

07-12-2015 , 05:56 PM
And... Here we.... Go
Jordan Spieth vs Rory McIlroy: GOAT/Major Championships Chase Quote

So next year at this tourney the odds will look like this:

Spieth 1-1
Zach Johnson 2-1
Stricker 5-1
Field 0
