I respectfully disagree. He's the only guy in the last 59 years to complete the career Grand Slam who's not named Tiger Woods. It's a very small club and he's in it. Once you are in the club, you are in the club. He can retire right now and he's a Hall of Famer. He's tied with Brooks Koepka for the third most major wins among active players. (And that's only if you count Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson as "active" players.) Everyone knows winning the Masters is difficult and repeating at the Masters is really REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY difficult. -

To wax a little poetry if I may; it's not how we fall but how we rise after a fall. He always struck to me as a very resilient fella. Surviving the odds including the preening eyes of an army of those who 'expertly' write others off maybe an even higher quality in my book. Hence I refrain from using 'never' as an opinion. I would have said the same thing about him had he not won this year. -

I think it’s a mix; yes, he hit those shots 15-17, great shots, under pressure - and the approach in the playoff, stellar. But I think there’s an element of "he survived”. Even Rory mentioned himself, the reaction after winning was more about relief than celebration. AND - he almost gave it away again! That missed putt on 18, I think he makes that 95/100 tries. The demons almost got him there, but he survived. Now the conversation will shift to “can he do it again?” It’s almost like the sophomore jinx all over again. -

I’m sure this has been discussed before, maybe an update would be good? I think alot of the current announcers are really good. The guys at Golf Channel, great. I thought that Paul Azinger was good too, he brought his tour experience and insights, and he’d get that growl in his voice when something big was happening. Is he still announcing for NBC? Also - for me it’s good when announcers are not afraid to broach controversial subjects, best if they can do it without coming across as hateful. The Smiley desk at the 17th at the Players, that was great. I definitely like the comedic and/or gritty announcers. On the other side, a few of the old timers would sometimes rub me the wrong way. The few that I recall were Steve Melnyk and Gary Koch. Perhaps most of the time they were fine, but all it takes is that one derisive comment to really stick in the memory.
