Rory is definitely lucky he got his 4 in before Jordan came along. Jordan might just hold this tour hostage for 5yrs. Hell, Spieth go wire to wire at Oakmont. Another course where he can avoid the big number compared to his competitors, his putter will save him and he can just laugh at all the others 3 putting their ways to 75s+

Nah. Rory is a premier ballstriker. Now that he has a real challenge, he should tighten up the rest of his game (putting switch is a good start) to close the gap.

I'm excited for the rivalry!

Stop whining about the clock Jordan. You do take alot of time. While we are young.

Still confused by the statement "he doesn't show any emotion." Like huh? I even posted a picture of him showing lots of it. But whatever. Like someone said, Spieth must be becoming a true superstar because he's racking up his hater army.

It's just an excuse for an underlying reason to hate Jordan...

  • entitled white boy
  • never had to work for it
  • jealousy
  • etc

What's interesting is the great amount of success he's had in a relatively short period of time and overall he's a good person.  I don't see him being any different that Rory or Jason Day.  

Agreed. I just happened to have money on the other two :mad:

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Day is just generally a "cooler" person. McIlroy is a cool Irish dude

Jordan is just too good.  Back to back Green Jackets.  

Gotta thing he can do a grand slam at some point.

Ease up on his jockstrap bud, I don't hate Jordan. He is a good young guy. I don't hate him. He is not Bubba. But, Jordan is just plain boring. To me he is not good for the overall game and I do NOT want a tour monopoly again like we had with Tiger for awhile. At least when Tiger did it though, he was flat out entertaining to watch. I don't get excited watching Jordan. I don't know if I ever contemplated turning Sunday at Augusta off before. His slow play and fidgeting also make it extremely difficult to watch and root for him.

Yeah, that backwards hat on the Feherty interview was real cool.

At least you're honest, better than the Tiger haters who won't admit they don't like him because of his deep tan.

Oh absolutely. Nothing wild about PGAs and the lower ball flight will help in the UK.

Well explained - this pretty much sums up my feelings as well. It's the fact that his brand of golf is simply 'very effective' golf rather than the more high-octane stuff you get with some of the others. 

It's not Jordan's fault; for many people, great putting just isn't as exciting to watch as a great long game.

Those are his less commendable traits. Like watching his golf, though. At least he's not Keegan with the fidgets.

      Which Irons for Next Season

      By Typhoon92 ·

      It’s winter here and time hitting at my indoor place.  This year I bought and sold a few sets so I didn’t settle in on anything. For this coming season, starting now I have a choice to make.  What set would you guys use? 1.  Nike Vapor Pro irons - They are like new, hit them some last year before I had to demo other sets.  I love them, original grips, barely used so I’m almost not wanting to use them to keep their value up.  Standard LLL and standard grips. 2. Taylormade P7TW irons - Still in the box.  Got them over a year ago but had too much to hit, never used them.  Have used a set in the past and loved them.  Ended up with my own set custom fit to me -1/4”, 1 degree flat midsize grips.  These are probably not as valuable because they are still available and they are fit to me. I hate to put the Nikes away but it makes more sense to save them than the TW’s…. I dunno….

      Day 215 (3 Dec 24) - Another very chilly day - opted to work on easy pitches in the backyard. Worked thru the irons and wedges - focused on foot position and tempo.
