I knew it was six but couldn’t name Craig Wood. His fields must’ve been pretty silly.😖

Good read. I wonder if Sergio has ever bothered to read about this guy? Thanks for posting @brocks.

You guys should do yourselves a favor and read this article about Wood:

article-urn:publicid:ap.org:9dd3c1862934

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn Craig Wood, a study in major championship heartache | Daily Mail Online

AUGUSTA, Ga. (AP) — Dustin Johnson already knows plenty of heartache in the majors. He just doesn't know Craig Wood...

 

From the article:

Quote

He was the footnote in history for the "shot heard 'round the world" in 1935 at Augusta National. Wood was in the clubhouse at 6-under 282. Only one other player on the course had a chance to catch him and that was Gene Sarazen, three shots behind. The crowd was congratulating him. His name already was on the winner's check. And then Sarazen holed out with a 4-wood on the par-5 15th hole for an albatross 2.

Sarazen was three back with four to play and they were already congratulating Wood? Seems a little premature. Maybe back in the day people weren't expected to be able to birdie a bunch of holes in a row?

Remember in 2011 when everyone was talking about getting the first Australian to win the Masters between Adam Scott or Jason Day, then Charl Schwartzel comes out of nowhere to birdie the last four holes and win?

I love how that threw the expert announcers for a loop.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      I know what those are, and they were unofficial. They were mostly to create conversation… and promote Mark McCormack's own clients. What Matt said is correct: Tiger's career spanned 24 years. Regardless, 15 > 19 when factoring in the competition, and 82 >> 72 when doing so.

      The McCormack rankings started in 1968. They used a nearly identical methodology as the original Sony rankings. except it was a three year look back vs two. Number of good years and total output is what matters when talking about the span of career.  All years are not created equally.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas · Posted

      The OWGR didn't even exist until Jack was 46 years old. So… What he said is true. Jack turned pro in 1961. He won his last PGA Tour event in 1986. That's 26 years. Tiger turned pro in 1996. He last won a PGA Tour event in late 2019. That's a span of 24 years. What he said is true. Tiger's "career" (not counting 2020-2024 where he played a handful of events each year, like Jack often would) lasted 24 years.

      People don't realize it because it isn't true.   Tiger had the following money list rankings in years you are counting as part of his career span. 68, 128, 201, 162, NA, NA, 24, 38, 223, 225   Nicklaus didn't drop out of the top 10 in the world golf rankings until he was 44. Nicklaus had 10 more years where he had a top ten finish in a major than Tiger has had as of now.
