Best and Worst Fist Pumps

[vct33]

With the Ryder Cup upon us, we will be seeing a lot of fist pumping this weekend. This had me asking myself who the best and worst fist pumpers have been over the years.

For me:

Best - Sergio Garcia w/ Tiger Woods getting Honorable Mention

Worst - David Duval

Jim Furyk last week with a $39 putter.

my all time fave celebrations are a tie between tiger ''raising the roof'' after that hole in one at scottsdale, and tom watson high stepping across the green after sinking that chip shot at pebble. but as far as pure, unadulterated fist pumping goes, i don't think there's anyone better than tiger, or worse than steve stricker.

I bet will see plenty of Knockles (knuckle tapping) going on this weekend...Since that's the "in" thing these days. Damn kids and their cool things and ways about them these days. Okay, I'm 27 and have done plenty of cool guy knocks in my day. GO USA!

Best - Tiger
Worst - Duval and Marcel Siem

Best - Furyk gets my vote.

Second best - many candidates from "The Jersey Shore" season 1. Worst - a cavalcade of "WTF was that"s from the LPGA. Karrie Webb rings a bell.

Beat that beat up

Best: I'm gonna go with Tiger 2008 US Open.

Worst: Phil Mickelson's weird jump thing...

[Clambake]

Agree with Tiger at the '08 US Open for the best - it's hard to imagine any better image capturing pure sports winning exhileration than Tiger's reaction at the 18th:

I'd have to go with this being my favorite.......

Best: you name it
Worst: Shaun Micheel

In reality, my vote for best fist pump should be the same as my vote for best touchdown dance or post goal celebration - "Who cares?"

i love when he lands, he does this pooping squat thing with his arms up in the air, like he just got potty trained or something.

It kinda reminds me of Joe Carter when he won the World Series for the Blue Jays. He kept jumping yet his head hardly moved.

Agreed. Paddy just isn't a very graceful guy.

Still an award winning Irish dancer, though maybe that just says something about Irish dancing.
