More Impressive 14 Majors

[mcfc_nick]

I picked one of the most out of shape guys on the tour because someone that out of shape can be a pro golf player.

of course they would, he may double fault ;)

Fed all the way! Im more of a tennis fan than Golf but either way you look at it.. Those two guys are some of the greatest athletes ever

Lol! I voted for Federer but why am I not surprised to see Tiger up there with ~71% of the vote??! I could have (maybe) been persuaded by Tiger but not now Swiss Roger has the French in his collection.

Reasons?

Tennis is essentially matchplay; one loss and you're out whereas you can have a bad first round in a golf Major and still win it.

The difference in playing surfaces for the tennis Majors is extreme i.e. 2 x hard court, 1 x grass and 1 x clay.

The transition from French clay to Wimbledon grass in two weeks is a huge ask.

There's a guy on the other side of the net deliberately trying to stop you getting the ball back in court.

Physical fatigue/fitness is more of an issue in a tennis Slam.


At the end of the day, they're both genuine greats (in a world where that word is used far too often) in their respective sports.

Quick question: Does anybody know who the last person to shoot over par one day of the tournament and still win it was?

Cink was over par in both the 2nd and 3rd Rounds at Turnberry. Possibly some of the more recent PGA Tour events have had a similar situation occur?
