How about Billy Horschel's 67 with a huge stick up his ass?

I think Hogan and his 1950 US Open deserves to have a spot in this poll/discussion.

Dammit, now I wanna see a 18 hole playoff between gimpy Woods and unsteady Day, both walking down the fairway using their driver as a makeshift cane.

Advil is an anti inflammatory.

It is also used for pain.. It is used for both.. "Ibuprofen works by reducing hormones that cause inflammation and pain in the body. Advil is used to reduce fever and treat pain or inflammation caused by many conditions such as headache, toothache, back pain, arthritis, menstrual cramps, or minor injury."

Anything to keep tiger relevant in a conversation? He was just cut from the open.

It's a fairly obvious comparison: who else played well in a US Open with an injury. The point of the thread is to compare the two injuries and judge difficulty; to say that this is to keep Tiger relevant is a pretty transparent and unessecary dig.

Freaking Advil? When was the last time Yall had a broken bone, severe sprain, torn muscle/tendon, etc.? Did you even watch the tournament? I watched him hit a drive on Saturday on 13 I think--right after he eagled the uphill par 5. He nearly passed out after he hit the ball.

He also didn't limp at all much of the day Sunday. He added after the round he had stuff that took care of that. Like I said before, we're not in these guys bodies and we don't know how they feel so there is no right or wrong answer. Also like someone mentioned, there have been others, like Ken Venturi, who battled through hell and back.

No matter ... Threads moot at this point anyway ;)

So clearly Tiger. :-)

Think I mentioned I played ball for 3 weeks with a broken hand. Aspirin and adrenaline works wonders. Having said that, it's no longer a relevant argument as Day faded so Tiger wins this particular battle. Although the field was much weaker back then, I mean Rocco and Westwood? Lol.

I fractured my leg playing tackle football at the beach during prom weekend.  I went to prom and walked Great Adventure theme park for an entire day before my leg swelled to the point that I couldn't get my pants on over the swollen area.  It hurt but it wasn't debilitating, Advil did keep the pain to a manageable level.

That said, I wasn't walking 10 miles and executing a golf swing that transferred all my weight on it.  Tiger gets the nod from me, just knowing you have an injury like that can mess with your head and Tiger was able to deal with that and the pain.

Only someone who has medical knowledge of, or personal experience with, both conditions could say one way or the other. Anyone else is talking through their hat.


Exactly.

Tiger didn't fall off a motorbike and have is femur sticking out through his pants. There are broken legs and "broken legs". It doesn't mean that his couldn't technically be described as broken.

As for Day, how the heck would anyone know how bad it was?

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

Like I mentioned yesterday, it wasnt the broken leg that caused a majority of the pain. It was the torn ACL. All the torque on his knee, had to be very painful.

Why no option for McIlroy and his wisdom tooth?

That's an obvious landslide win. Not worth debating...... :)

Wow, just wow.

You guys pick a hypothetical win to form a comparison boost up your champ who went down in flames,

Tiger must be in big trouble. Can't talk about his game today, gotta bring up wins from 7 years ago, and compare them to wins, that didn't even happen.....

      The MTB Prime and Prime X had issues with the cover being too soft and getting cut too easily. They said it was more prevalent in the Prime than the Prime X which I found odd because that was the exact opposite of my experience.

      Day 120 - Played 18; much better than yesterday. Miss right now is off the heel of the club, so I need to sort that out.

      Today we played Pease Golf Course in Portsmouth, NH. Course was in great shape but my game didn't show up. I will say I pitched and chipped fairly well but almost everything else was very hit or miss. Cost myself a lot hitting an in play drive with pulling my approach shots maybe 85% of the time. Finally figured out I had been swaying most of the round. Only took me until 13 to figure it out. Used what felt like a much more centered turn and the ballstriking improved. 18 tomorrow using a 2 man scramble format. Just looking to contribute. Been a blast though.
