Over the past few months he has certainly been much better than Woods.

Last few years too.

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 ;-)

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!

      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.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      By saevel25 · Posted

      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?
