Open Championships:

1966: Jack fires a 75 in R3 to trail a real HOF guy Phil Rodgers by 2. He shoots a mediocre 70 in R4, but luckily Rodgers gacks a 76. Arnie shoots 74 in R4 after only being 4 back after 3. Nicklaus wins by 1 over Doug Sanders and Dave Thomas, who went on to fame with the Wendy's franchise.

1970: Jack fires a 73 in R3 and is T2, 2 back of Trevino. Jack shoots 73 again in R4. Surely the HOF Legend Trevino dusted him? Nope he gacked a 77, something I was assured greats of this era just did not do. Doug Sanders then needs to get down in 3 from 74 yards on 18 to win. Fails, missing a 3 footer. Jack wins the playoff 72-73. So Jack was 1 back after 2 and goes 73-73-72 and wins. WOW

1978: Jack trails Tom Watson and Peter Oosterhuis by 1 going to R4. He shoots 69 and wins by 2 as Watson fires a 74 and Oosty a 73.

OK ARC even Im getting annoyed with the racist comments. They are really starting to get old. Hes not a racist nor do I think anyone in here is. He is just dumb

Yeah but he's not responding to any of my posts about logic. So I'm trying to get his attention by instead calling him racist.

Man Black aces is making leo so butt hurt right now. Leo is probably crying like a little girl watching is hero get destroyed and everything he has believed get crushed

1965 The big 3 were tied after 36holes but Jack posted a 64 on Saturday then he cruised home.

63 the weather was horrible all week. still more than one major champ on the leaderboard.

72 was the year of the bad poa problem

75 jack shot 68 miller 66 and Tom shot 70 they all posted numbers.

you guys can do your own research god you take things out of context worse than Oberman on MSNBC

I shall try explaining it to you like I would my 6-year old nephew who plays with fisher-price clubs (man Jack would kill to have had these clubs back in his day)

1. Nxt refutes your contention that Jack > Tiger in length with confusing things like numbers and data

2. You shrug the hard evidence off and respond intelligently with something subjective and anecdotal

3. You rebuttal by saying that's because Jack's clubs were harder to hit and mis-hits were much less forgiving

4. Now, this is the important part. This is where I remind you the argument is based on how long they were relative to their competitors

5. Since you would agree that Jack was one of the best ball strikers of his era AND clubs back then punished mis-hits more ==> Jack's competitors mis-hit drives relatively more ==> even shorter on average than Jack ==> increase in Jack's overall edge on the field

6. We refer back to the numbers showing, despite everything above, Tiger is STILL longer relative to his competitors

7. You have a brain aneurysm while trying to comprehend all of this, and from having to look up 'aneurysm'

8. You ignore the objective argument that proves you wrong, as always, or gloss over the points that prove you wrong and again respond with another subjective and/or anecdotal argument. This causes a chain reaction of aneurysms among the rest of us that read it, causing this sub-forum to finally go dormant, leaving only BO and mucks, the greatest golf forum of all.

And lastly, PGA Championships:

1963: Bruce Crampton leads Nicklaus by 3 going into R4. Jack shoots 68 and wins by 2 over superstar Dave Ragan. Crampton 74.

1971: Nicklaus leads by 4, sputters to a 73 in R4, but wins by 2 anyway. Gary Player misfired to a 73 to finish 4 back.

1973: Jack leads by 1, shoots a heartstopping 69 and wins by 4. GJGE contenders. Bruce Crampton earns his 3rd of 4 runnerups to Nicklaus.

1975: Jack leads by 4, shoots a heartstopping 71 and wins by 2 over punching bag Crampton. Hale Irwin and Tom Watson both shoot 73 in the final.

1980: Jack leads by 3, shoots a heartstopping 69 and wins by SEVEN. He shot -3 and made up 4 on the field. Watson shot a 67 so scores were available, he got a T10 for that.

WOW THE AMAZING LEGENDS AND RALLIES THAT JACK HAD TO BEAT BACK. WOOO WEEEEEE

Went right over my head

Here ya go leo all in 1 post for ya. Jack was not as good as you think. Others just crapped themselves. Sorry to burst your bubble

He is not cause he is not going Paul Harvey. He needs to tell the rest of the story.

I'm still seeing major champions in all his posts tho.

Yeah major champions playing like garbage crumbling down the stretch. Face the music, the fat lady has sung. Im sure if we did this all with Tiger too, you would see plenty of major champions on board

lol again, Leo argues against himself and has no idea

black aces for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ARC for the loss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny the tiger guys had the win and the loss today! It's like a brandel chamblee "IF HE COULD HIT A DRAW WITH A DRIVER HE WOULD BLOW THE FIELD AWAY" kind of time for the tiger lovers in this forum. He wins but loses somehow in the compliments...

Just a quick glance at Tigers majors, in the 14 he won, 7 of the times the runner up was a major champion

None of this matters because theoretically it affects every player similarly.

You still don't get it.

without me looking were they already major champs at the time or later?

leo you suck huge dick at moving goal posts

I know they need to right?

Anyway gotta sleep. Enjoy the par 3 everybody.

5 of the 7 already were with the other 2 being Duval who won the following major after Tiger won and then the other being Mickelson.

This is his strategy.

1) say something dumb
2) be told something that debunks his thinking
3) retort with "I'm driving...can you check on ___________" (a time-waster and distraction tactic)
4) Be told that, yes, upon further review, the stats back up point 2)
5) Then he'll ignore that post for the rest of the day and move to 3) as it pertains to someone else's 2) post.

This dude is the WOAT. He sounds old talking about Paul Harvey. Is Leo BO's dad?

Just imagine if Leo was an Arnold Palmer fan back in the 1960's when Nicklaus came around to surpass Arnie. Jack was frequently insulted on the course (see the stories on the 1962 Open at Oakmont). From our perspective it is clear that Nicklaus was the greater golfer, but at the time it was hard to see by Arnie's fans.

(There are also fascinating stories on how Hogan and his fans could not stand Palmer. Hogan did not talk to Palmer for years, as the story goes.)

So let's be understanding of Leo's and others' feelings for Jack. There is little doubt that in time Tiger will be seen as the greatest of all time. The fact that some people recognize this sooner than others is simply an artifact of different people's perspectives.

He serves a purpose like all trolls, but it's been a bit full-on lately.

fyp

Jack confirmed brain dead.

How many Par 3 contests has Tiger v Jack won?
