This isn't much of a stretch since his weekend ineptitude when in or near the lead has been on display for several straight majors and the more courageous announcers aren't afraid to point it out.

It's true though at some point when hanging around this often he HAS to win eventually, whether it be via overcoming the mental block, everyone else failing worse, or backing into a win a la Ernie last year or Ben Curtis ten years ago. Like a pro popping his cherry and winning getting easier after the first one I imagine that would do great things for his race to 19.

As much as I wanted to see Zach Johnson, the local favorite, defend his title it is pretty great not just that Spieth won but he went on to win after the one hop holeout out on 18. That would be a much less memorable shot both for him and the tournament if he didn't.

EDIT: to expand, the shot went from an obscure footnote to one the PGA Tour will show a couple of mirrion times going forward to promote their latest new star - not that I blame them.

Yeah tiger definitely can't win an Open course where he can leave his driver at home.

Oh wait...

And before I get nitted...

I'm not saying he's leaving his driver home this week.

BO should just never talk about betting odds because he doesn't understand how they work and refuses to learn.

i'm a huge ZJ fan but if i would have witnessed 19 year old Spieth come back from 6 down to start the day and hole out on 18 to make the playoffs...i 100% would have been rooting for him to win. to my mind, having the youngest winner on the PGA tour since, what, the great depression win in such fashion is an instant classic.

LOL @ you. So if I offered you 11:10 rather than 1:1 on a coin flip would you turn me down?

Whoever is being offered 10:1 take that. You are beating the Pinny market by like 10%.

Am I the only one that doesn't think Phil looks out of shape at all? He's not lean and ripped like some of the guys, but his belly and jugs aren't there any more.

Pretty wild that Phil, in 20 years, hadn't won a tournament in EUROLAND and now has 2 wins in 8 days.

Also pretty wild that we're living in the era of the GOAT left and GOAT right-handed golfers OAT.

Caught this today - Summerhays has made a lot of money the last two weeks so that's some consolation although it would be nice to see him close the deal before it becomes an issue.

Must be tough for older guys who are major winners like DL III and David Toms resigned to plodding around in bum**** Mississippi because they didn't qualify for the Open. Not saying I feel sorry for them but it is roughly the golfing equivalent of getting stuck at the fold-out table at Thanksgiving dinner.

Tiger at 10:1 is easy money. And it's pretty obvious Phil is on some sort of PEDs. Look at how in shape he looks.

I just like making fun of him because he looks like he's always out of breath. Yet he keeps plodding along and playing well.

there's this little thing called adrenaline

The current major holders are now 2-5 in the OWGR. I remember back when Luke and Lee were ranked #1 people here were complaining that since there wasn't a major win in their current ranking points that they weren't the true #1.

I didn't agree with that comment then and nothing has changed. But just saying.

BO

You're really stretching the truth in an effort to make a point there BO. I recall people mentioning that the world #1 had NEVER won a major as a bone of contention. I don't remember anyone suggesting that it be mandatory for the top ranked players to all be REIGNING major champions, or that they have a major win represented in their current points. The reason people wouldn't suggest that is because it is so obviously absurd.

Almost as absurd as trying to slight a guy on the basis of winning majors who has 14 of them.

Edit: make that 17 of them. I forgot who I was speaking to for a second.

Yeah I think BO is confused. But let's say there were people out there who thought the top 4 in the OWGR should all be the reigning major champions. That would obviously be monumentally dumb and I don't think I should have to explain why. If that were the case, the ranking system would not mean anything.

It works out right now that 4 of the top 5 are reigning champs because they were all highly-ranked players, then won a major and had otherwise good seasons.

I don't think anyone alive, besides Keegan Bradley and his mom, thinks he should have been ranked #1 in the world immediately after his PGA Championship win.

I don't think this was BO's point, though. I think he just mis-represented.

I have no problem with the current OWGR and never have. Was simply pointing out that people were bitching up a storm when Donald and Westwood were ranked #1 without a major on their resume, which of course means they had no majors amongst their current ranking points. Now Tiger is #1 with no majors amongst his current ranking points.

Tiger should be the current #1, just using the current rankings to show how idiotic it was to bitch about Lee and Luke.

BO

Because in the delusional world of BO winning 4 times is the same as winning twice.

I see you have attended the ARC school of stalking posters and then replying with utter nonsense.
