Gotta think Rickie might be getting a little frustrated now. Last thing he wants is to be Sergio Garcia to Rory McIlroy's Tiger.

Congrats to McIlroy. From behind this time too. Is that something Woods never has done?

I believe Woods has trailed during the final round of one of his majors and still won.

Heck, he trailed briefly at Valhalla.

Nah, Rory was leading after 54. Tiger's come back from deficits within the last round, just never when he wasn't leading going into the final round. In majors, at least.

I beat you @jamo on that one by less than a second!

[zipazoid]

Had this ended in a tie, I get the feeling Rory would have insisted on going ahead with the playoff tonight.

That wasn't the player's call. They already said a playoff, since it would have been a three-hole aggregate, would have been at 9a Monday.

But @mvmac beat us all: [quote name="jamo" url="/t/76282/2014-pga-championship-discussion-thread/1410_30#post_1038084"] @mchepp picked Stenson at -16, @mvmac had Rory at -16, @georgep had Rory at -18, I had Rickie at -15, @iacas had Rickie at -13. @boogielicious took Rickie but didn't give a score.[/quote]

Did Kostis almost say cluster-f*? Will Fowler be the Ernie Els who finished 2nd to Woods so many times? Good night all. Till April next year.

I dont think Rickie will be upset if when he is all said and done...he is compared to Ernie as opposed to Tiger. Ernie is still a 4 time major winner and future HOFer. I have a feeling Rickie probably knows in his mind, Rory is the better player.

Finally! A major that wasn't a snooze-fest.

Note to self - Take @saevel25 's crystal ball away from him.

Looks like all the guys on tour will be dumping their women now seeing Rory's results the past 6 weeks.

Coincidentally, Fowler's two pro wins have been with Rory in second.

[atb5079]

Media trying to stir up controversy in Phil's presser. I dont like Phil, but dont put words in his mouth you ****s.

When Rory is on fire, don't bet against!! This was a pretty easy pick. Given the odds of winning 3 tournaments in a row is slim, but Rory can be that good.

I take it you don't wanna go to Vegas.

My picks this year have been: Masters- Rickie Fowler, -12 US Open- Fowler, E British- Fowler, -8 PGA- Fowler, -15 That's an aggregate of -35. Through the first three in real life, he was at -18. So if he shoots -17 at the PGA, then my predictions were right, because that's how that works.

I was so close!

[iacas]

I was so close!

You lost them all.

I don't think I've ever predicted a winner either. It doesn't help that we didn't do them pre-2009. :)

Nah, I don't bet. I am more a fan of blackjack tables. I like games were the odds are as close to 50/50 as possible. Some skill involved.
