When it's on a golf hole ldo, that's kind of the definition of how stroke averages work bro

.1 is not significant lolololol but once again when your argument is god awful, keep cherry picking what you want to quote so you dont look like more of an idiot

I will offer the same thing to you as I did ARC

Want to put your money where your mouth is and bet on this via a poll? We can have like the 5 best posters here (ones with most golf experience and quality posters like BO, Ship, NXT, Your Boss and maybe one other) give their answer and whether or not Spieth closed that one out or if he was pretty lucky to come out of there with a win.

If you dont accept, just stfu as you have no leg to stand on then

actually you're even wrong here which is the hilarious thing

Hearn shot -1 in his 7 runs through the 18th hole (2 birdies, 4 pars, 1 bogey)
ZJ was +2 in his 7 (5 pars, 2 bogies)

so they were +1 combined, which last I checked was above par

You don't do your own scorecards I hope

Two shots a round isn't significant? Man, just think, all those times you missed the cut by 3 in AAA golf that really wasn't significant at all, you're just as good as those guys

Was referring strictly to the first 72 holes since you ignored the first 4 holes of the actual playoff (because it proves you are wrong)

Yep, gonna run away now. Put up or shut up and no surprise you run like a btch

I tell you what, I'll make you a counteroffer though:

We'll get 5 mathematics professors to tell you whether shooting a 4 on a hole where the average is 4.12 is good or not, if they don't agree with you you have to go suck Sergio Garcia's dick twice a day for a week

It's good you don't call anyone names, I hear you could get banned for that around here

And obviously you want to cherry pick the 8 rounds that support your argument while ignoring the 6 from the same players that don't support it, and also ignoring the other 300+ rounds from actual golfers who are all also better than you

I'M NOT SURPRISED YOU WANT TO IGNORE THOSE THINGS THAT DON'T SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT but that doesn't mean that doing so makes you any more correct

Amazing the amount of stupidity you show. In your average example trying to say I was wrong, you include the 5th playoff hole which obviously shouldnt be counted since those 3 did not know what they were going to score when they were on the tee. Put your money where your mouth is. Not that hard.

Sure 4> 4.12 but when something that happens 90-95% of the time doesnt happen, then the other side was very very lucky.

Last post D Wetzel. Accept my wager above or shut up. Are you scared? Sure seems that way.

Why should I care if you can find other people who are bad at math in the universe? It doesn't make you correct.

And one of the people you're already certain is on your side already said "it depends", so, yeah. Be sure to specify that the hole they won with par is actually a hard one though, you know, big boy golf, not what you try to eke out a ****ty living at. I'm not taking a bet but be sure to let me know the results of your informal poll, I'd love to know who else sucks at math too.

Will you accept my wager that more than 15% of PGA Tour playoffs historically have been won by par or better? Less than 10% you win, 10-15% is a push.

Scared?

Why are you ignoring the math on the first 4 playoff holes along with what happened on 18 in reg play and only focusing on the 5th playoff hole?

O wait I know why....

Irrelevant since my entire argument was based on the fact that its a 3 man playoff. Id bet that less than 10% of the time has par won outright in a 3 man playoff definitely. Has to be the exact same scenario where both bogey and the one par wins. Snap accept that

That's not really what you argued before, but try not don't trip while you backpedal your way out of that one.

However, this does sort of pique my interest, so instead of trying to find words small enough for you to understand, I'm going to actually go look up 3-way (or more, because why not) playoffs. I assume that winning over multiple holes with nothing but pars would be good enough to qualify for this scenario, I don't see why it matters that they both have to bogey the same hole?

How's this kid supposed to play w so many people hanging from his nuts?!

For amusement value, Zack Johnson won the 2012 John Deere in a playoff with a birdie on the second playoff hole.

O really?! Look above. Was from yesterday. Your reading comprehension is just awful

No winning with pars does not qualify. Has to be the exact scenario where it ends on a hole where 2 players make bogey and one makes par.

If you are unsure of why it matters, it just shows you had no business trying to argue something you clearly have no experience in

Angel Cabrera won the 2009 Masters in a 3 way playoff, going par-par was good enough

But he clearly sucks too so that doesn't count

So it's "lucky" if two people make bogey on the same hole, but it's "closing it out" if one of those two people bogeys one of the previous holes to drop out, or something

yeah, you're waaaaay down the rabbit hole now

You're right that I can't comprehend you but trust me, it's not me, it's you

Yeah. I mean I know he had bad follow-throughs on some of his Sunday swings at Augusta but everyone is quick to say PRESSURE. SUNDAY. GENE SARAZEN. RAE'S CREEK. GOLF LORE. lol.

Some days you just wake up and aren't hitting it as well as usual. His "Sunday struggle" as it were, could be one of two things (or more):

1) Naaaaaaahvs as Faldouche would be really quick to say.
2) Some days you just aren't hitting it your best.

Media almost NEVER says number 2. It's always 1. No matter what it's always nerves. Because it sounds good and makes the tournament sound super important and stuff.

I mean, we all know nobody ever has a bad round on a Thursday at a run of the mill tour stop. Nope. Doesn't happen. Only bad rounds are Sunday's at Augusta.

Great but it is irrelevant. The chances of 2 of 3 professionals bogeying the same hole in a playoff and par wins it is very very slim. Having a player get eliminated with bogey while the others make par is very common.

That coupled with the fact that Spieth got lucky on 18 that his bunker shot hit the flag dead center and dropped along with Hearn missing from like 3-4 feet for the win and ZJ missing like a 10 footer for the win the hole before makes Spieth very lucky he got out of there with a win
