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.

Somebody get some Advil for Ian Poulter.

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.....

    • Day 36: 15 balls, same as last few days. Then a little indoor putting.
    • hey guys, sorry about the kind of short notice, but i'm not going to be able to make it to the outing this year....  
    • Had to correct the distance - should have read 5,400 not 5,500  yds. 
    • Had to report this one - played Minnesott again today with my son.  We played behind the Friday Men's group and had a decently paced round.  My round started off par-par-bogie.  I was feeling good to be +1 through three.  Played the next two par - par and then disaster hits - well I thought it may be the unravelling of +1 through five.  Tee shot on six is a hard pull hook into the ditch separating four and six.  I know the ball is lost and re-tee - hitting three off the tee on this par five.  Long story short - what should have been at worst a bogie became a triple 8.  Now I'm +4 through six holes.  Get a solid par on seven (which I celebrated as a solid recovery hole).  Eight is a birdie and I'm back to three over.  Nine, a par 3 over water, finishes par for a 39 front.   We roll to the back to where I birdie ten (the toughest hole on the back) to be -1 after the first hole on the back, +2 for the round.  Par eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen and fifteen - that was an in the zone moment.  Have to note that fourteen - the second par 3 on the back - I hit the tee shot just short right of the flag.  Easy pitch with the 56 should put me close for a tap in par.  It does not happen - as I duff the pitch to about 3yds closer.  I reset and this time I nip it nicely only to see it land and slowly roll to the cup and drop in for a chip-in par save ( a first).   We get to sixteen and I am thinking this could be a really good round.  It's also a par 5 and I hit a solid tee shot.  I'm about 220 from the center of the green and figure I can layup with the 3w as there is a nice landing area in front of the green and it would play nicely into the typical distance I hit this club.  I'm sitting about 50 yds from the flag to the right hand side.  I overcook the 56 and see the ball bounce off the back of the turtle green.  I hit an easy 56 again to see the ball roll to the other side of the green.  Long story it became a 3putt double.  Now I am +4 through sixteen.  The last two holes are solid pars - one an up and down, the other a GIR two putt. Finished the back 1 over at 37.  Total score is a 76!  A new personal best.  Best "all around" play through the bag to date. 
    • Day 562, May 17, 2024 Spent a LOT of time on GEARS stuff today, so while waiting for imports, exports, and all manner of things, I did some rehearsals in the mirror and camera in my basement.
