Somewhat OT....

Do you guys rank Zach above a player like Old Tom Morris? Morris with 4 Opens to Zach's 2 majors?

Always found it hard to truly and fairly rank the best of all time. In the 1800s they really only had 1 major for the most part. They also didn't have weekly regular tournaments. They didnt have Ryder Cups or WGC, TPCs, etc to be evaluated on. With that said, there were not nearly as many players competing at a high level in the majors back then. It really was an entirely different game back then.

So is there a fair way to compare these players of different generations?

Not really. It's fun to talk about them. But because they can never play against each other on equal terms, it is strictly an academic exercise.
