It'd be pretty hard to call it a choke job when he was down 3 entering the day, and shot a 66...

Now seems like a good time to post this

That is just some completlly idiotic writing. What the hell is the Onion anyways, is this for real? That guy must be retarded. Good grief.

I think its safe to say, Phil will be on the Ryder cup team.

I want to see Rory at his best (like right now I presume) against Tiger at his best (which hasn't been seen in a long time).

I don't know who wins that hypothetical matchup.

The Tiger fan in me says Tiger. My eyeballs tell me Rory.

Tiger wins. Seriously, the guy won four majors in a row. Two months ago people were wondering when the heck Rory McIlroy was gonna get out of his slump…


Also, seriously guys, you haven't heard of The Onion?

Wonder why Rory is dominating so much. Is it breaking up with his fiancé, getting used to his Nike clubs or something more??!

I think we need a study about if your sex life affects your golf game. I mean, it is a FACT Tigs was a better golfer when he was banging a steady stream of porn stars, strippers, and cocktail waitresses. :-D :-D

First off I don't have a clue who wins. It's a hypothetical match from moments in time. Apparently you do. Hmmm. Oh well. Second I never mentioned a sustained run or a career. I don't think Rory (or anybody else) can match Tiger.

People take things far too seriously. Goodness, no, I'm not saying I "know" the answer because there is no "answer." It's an opinion.

Second I never mentioned a sustained run or a career. I don't think Rory (or anybody else) can match Tiger.

I didn't mention a career either. Tiger's peak was in 2000. He won a major by 15 that year, and won four in a row. That was his peak.

Rory's peak hasn't even sniffed that peak IMO. If he wins the next one or two, that changes.

But the field is better now than it was in 2000, no? ;-)

Yes. But that much better? Probably not, no.

Yes slightly and Tiger won the US Open by 15 shots so.....

Came home from camping today and watched the final round on PVR. What a Sunday! Incredible leaderboard coming down the stretch. Can't believe they played out in the dark but certainly glad they did. Helluva 2 week stretch for Rory.

I'm an unabashed Rory fanboy but I actually started pulling hard for Ricky when he grabbed the lead.

Yours in earnest, Jason.

Thanks guys, that'll hold me over. I only pray these Omega commercials aren't a gateway. If I'm looking for Tag Heuer print ads and Rolex billboards tomorrow, you'll have lost me.

There are some pretty good watch forums on the inter webs.

    • Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.
    • I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.    
    • The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.
    • Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.
    • No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
