Seems like we've been waiting on a 'young gun' to seriously challenge the top players for a very, very long time.

I think you mean 2 big wins. Having the record for most birdies in a round at the masters doesn't hurt either.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

Fair point indeed, along with two in one year on the tour.

It doesn't hurt, agreed. But McIlroy TIED with Kim for 20th place at that Masters. In the other majors this year, (U.S. Open) Kim was T16 McIlroy T10, British Open, Kim was cut while McIlroy T47, (PGA) Kim was T51 and McIlroy was T3.

In 2008, Kim had 8 top 10 finishes and this year only one (1) ... so how is he trending? To be fair, there is a difference between top 20 finishes and winning so at this point what McIlroy can do in the clutch while contending is a question mark. But time is on his side as McIlroy is 4 years YOUNGER than Kim (minus a month).

Out of the guys listed, it's tough to go against Rory McIlroy. His game and demeanor seem to be well suited towards majors. That being said, I could see AK and Danny Lee winning multiple majors as well.

On a side note, keep an eye out for Rickie Fowler. I've been following him for a couple years because he went to Oklahoma State to play his college golf. He has stardom written all over him, and he also has a great demeanor for winning majors. He also has a very solid short game which is always crucial. He tied for 7th last week in his first PGA Tour event as a pro, and he is tied for the lead in this week's event. I can't wait to see how he does in the next couple years.

I'm going to skip the poll choices and go with Rickie Fowler. I saw him play at the 2008 US Open - look out, people!

I saw him play there too. We followed him for a few holes after he bombed a drive on the par 5 4th hole (517 yards). He hit a iron into the green there like he was playing a long par 4. I didn't see anyone going after that green with an iron in the 4-5 groups we watched on that hole. Can't speak to his short game as we were in the wrong spot on the holes we followed him on.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 37, June 10.  Today was primarily WFH, so I had several practice sessions (indoors, off a mat, into the net).  At least one each of U, 9, and 6-iron full swings with the usual priority.   I also tried a few times a putting type stroke with my 4H, as something I should probably learn how to hit (and what it does), but the mechanical shot at home off a mat doesn't tell me much of what it's doing.  That's something I should probably try on a real green, not during a round until I've tried it.

      Day 10 (10 Jun 26) - Played in the midweek shootout at my home course - on aerated and sanded greens - day of trying to figure tempo to get the best roll on the greens.  Approach game was decently solid as was shots off the tee.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
