But, I think everybody is too quick to write off Tiger. I don't think he'll come out and dominate, but I'd watch out for him come Sunday.

yeah i think he's got a chance too

I said that about Turnberry, I don't know if he will have in him. I kept thinking he has been playing possum but I just don't know anymore. I don't know that I am a fan of him but I loved it when his performance would force errors on his competitors.

I understand that. I just want to be the guy that said, "Tiger can win this one" when he actually does. I'm like you in that I've never considered myself a Tiger fan, but its just so much fun to watch when he's doing well. I will remember the 2008 U.S. Open forever because of him. I was actually rooting for Mediate pretty hard. Anyway, I would like to think he's still got it and there is a little part of me that believes that, but after going 18 over...

After looking at some of these pictures I'm concerned that it will be difficult to see a lot of the action. Any body who has been there this week, can you comment on this?

Great photos. The course looks amazing - I can't wait to watch the players tackle it.

As far as Tiger goes - I will say this:
Tiger will not win again until he gets his head right. That could be this week . . or any week . . .but he will not win anything until he does. My guess is that it will not be this week.

In other words, Geoff Ogilvy.

That's possible too. There are a couple decent players from that country that just hosted the World Cup.

It sure sounds like English - as much as Australian does, that's sure.

Els, Goosen, and Oosthuizen are obviously Dutch/Boer names; it can be assumed that Afrikaans was spoken in their households growing up, even though all of them were probably fluent in English from a very early age. Vijay Singh has the same story: English is Fiji's official language, but the Indo-Fijian community speaks Hindi.

I guess Trevor Immelman would qualify under your original criteria (as "Trevor" is undoubtedly English), but he's not winning this week.

In my UnderArmour Links stand bag...

Driver: '07 Burner 9.5° (stiff graphite shaft)
Woods: SasQuatch 17° 4-Wood (stiff graphite shaft)
Hybrid: 4DX Ironwood 20° (stiff graphite shaft)Irons/Wedges: Apex Edge 3-PW, GW, SW (stiff shaft); Carnoustie 60° LWPutter: Rossa AGSI+ Corzina...

My picks are Goosen and Els.

I actually think this course is a great spectator venue ... lots of hills and large mounds that let you view multiple holes at one time.

Honestly? They both get off track with the putter mid tourney lately. I think it will continue to be the limiting factor for them

Not to mention the huge and numerous bunkers for the kids to occupy themselves building sandcastles in.

      Agreed - only 5 players better than -4. Not quite alarm bells are ringing time just yet.

      I don't really care what the winning score is. The best players still generally bubble up to the top. Also, second is three back. It's not like there are ten people within two shots of the lead.

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.
