No he isn't!

Says the guy with four years (and four major victories) of hindsight. :P

In November, 2010 all we had was a guy who'd won… no majors (and IIRC one PGA Tour event).

So maybe it's just that the hype machine rated his potential properly back in the day. :)

True.. I didn't know anything about golf back then (or now) and the only name I probably really recognized back then was woods.. I didn't actually read any of the thread and see what people's opinions were either, just answered the question as if it is being asked now!

The OP stated Rory was going to get maybe 10-15 wins and 3 majors and basically become Lee Westwood with a prettier swing. Well he's 25...and already past that.

So to me this is the most fun thread to post his tournament win pics ;-)

Jack has said recently that Rory will collect major wins and is no1

If there is doubt then Jack's opinion will do for me

That's not really an opinion though. He is winning major and he is ranked #1.

Besides, I don't see how Jack's opinions matter that much more. It's all guesswork. Nobody is more qualified to guess how a career turns out more than another.

It may just be possible that Jack knows what it takes to win the odd major or two

Well.. I'm not sure about that.. I mean don't you think that someone who understands swings and mechanics and other things specific to golfing might be able to see something in someone that others can't?

Isn't that really what scouts in football, baseball and other sports do?  I would say they are more qualified at guessing how someones career turns out than you and me for example?

I'm not speaking about Jack specifically, but rather in general terms.. as someone is able to tell that a prospect might have a successful career vs. someone that might look good, but there is a flaw that they only see and can guess that it will prevent them from moving up..

On several occasions for example, I have seen Erik say to someone.. hey if you fix this than you can become an X handicap.. he is saying this out of experience, I wouldn't be able to do that with many people, not even my self really!

    • Day (2 May 24) - somehow I missed posting both Tues and Weds practice sessions - so the streak ends and a new one begins…. Focus today was on ball first contact using the Divot Board for reference.   Worked with 7i, 9i and GW hitting hard foam balls.  Started hap hazardly and then settled back into my pre-shot setup.  Much more consistent in the latter.  
    • So, Newey is out at Red Bull. Where does he go in a year? Is Max still with RBR in 2026? Hmmmm.
    • August 2010 Woodfin Ridge 18th hole Playing in a large tournament with a slew of friends and the last day was two man best ball. The 18th, when it was bent grass, was very fast due to a steep slope on the right side. I had seen many people over the years putt off the green from above the hole. I hit a great drive and 3W to 30’ left of the hole. With everyone watching my partner hit it way too fast and never high enough and his ball rolled all the way to the bottom of the green.  I hit mine much higher and the ball came to rest about 20” above the hole. Then it slowly started trickling towards the hole for a walkoff eagle! Nobody said anything except my partner who was yelling pretty loudly. I looked at the crowd and told them it was okay to clap because it was a great putt, and they gave me a bunch of polite golf claps and brought me a beer!
    • Day 127: 5/2/24 Stack Full Speed spectrum training session 6/24. Training speed was 5 mph higher than previous high, as was e-speed. Still not as high as I have done in previous programs, but just 1 mph lower. Battling through a neck issue, and possible trigger fingers. Happy with results.
    • Day 49. Played 9 from tees a bit beyond my comfort zone and was humbled. Hit a couple good shots so will take that at least.
