How about youngest player ever to have a 10+ shot lead at any point during a US Open (he had a 10 shot lead for about 10 minutes during the 2nd round)

Does that mean Rory, Phil, and Dustin were the major meltdown pairing?

Actually, no Tiger is the best part. People can fully appreciate his accomplishments instead of diminishing them with comparisons to tournaments 11-14 years ago.

I've enjoyed watching Rory play so well this week.  While his dominance the last three days will reduce the drama to determine the winner today, watching someone play such amazing golf is very enjoyable to me.

I've been out all day until just now.  Have the announcers made any reference to how many guys are well under par?  Historically, how many golfers tend to finish under par in a US Open?

Through 11 holes, Yang looks like he could finish at -10 (or better) and not win.  How often has that happened?

Last question, am I correct in remembering Tiger winning his US Open by 12+ strokes?  That is still possible but starting to feel unlikely for Rory...one of the few records he may not hold after the day is over.

This kid has such a terrific swing and all around game. Very good win for Rory. Maybe now golf might have some consistency in the winners circle now.

When Rory starts winning lots of majors by dramatic fashion every year, then I think the "New Tiger" would be appropriate

How many "The New Tigers" have their been the last ten years?

Every person that has won a tournament in their early 20's seems to get called that....

I haven't noticed that. Who else has been called 'The New Tiger' in the last few years?

Nobody has. It was one of those purely fabricated reactionary things people say.

Gorgeous play by McIlroy. I thought Yang was going to hold onto 2nd place until he went 2 over in the last four holes. He started pulling most of his shots for some reason. He also misread his putts a little high almost all day. One inch lower here and there would've saved him 3 or 4 strokes over the day.

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

      By boogielicious · Posted

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

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

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
