(1) I think he's being unfair to the other players when discussing Tiger's swing changes b'coz all players (not just Tiger) undergo swing changes throughout their careers. (2) I think he's been unfair to Paddy b'coz (a) Paddy could've won the British Open 2008, even with Tiger in the field given the lottery of the weather and (b) Phil was in the field with Paddy and thus had every chance of stopping Paddy's charge towards Major victory, but he wasn't even close. (3) Of the current crop of active players and based on recent form, I'd rate Paddy above Sergio, who in turn is ahead of Phil. I think Phil's past his prime, and there should be no shame in admitting this. Ron Sirak puts an interesting spin on evaluating the "best of the rest" in his article.
