A real sham. ( pun intended ). Just not a fan of his game at all. And I don’t think head to headhe beats Spieth , dj , Rahm or even phil more often than not. But the world rankings are not setup that way. So I guess he can have his “ turn” until someone else wins again.

 

Just look at the choke job vs Phil in Mexico. He holes the fairway shot on 18 to get into playoff. The watches phil come in. Visibly looks sick as he sees phil make the par putt. Then can’t hit the green with a gap wedge. Flubs the chip and doesn’t hit the hole with the putt. Phil wins on short par 3 with a par. Pretty huge choke. Not something you usually associate with #1 at anything.

With the GOATs rapid ascension up the ranks and his clear return to form, it figures to only be a matter of time before he reclaims his rightful spot on the throne.

 

Jack is ranked???

I will say that the anti climactic way he’s getting it ( someone else faltering) is pretty fitting. And I’ll stop. Hate isn’t lovely on anyone. I don’t now why this kid irks me. But he does.

The issue we have all is that we expect #1 to "mean" something. It's just a mathematical formula that says who has the most points over a 2 year period. Thomas is #1, which is great for him and still significant in a sense.

 

#1 doesn't have to be some mythical thing. It doesn't even mean he's the "best" golfer in the world

 

The best salesperson at a company will still have quarters/years where he does not lead the company in sales

Jack Nicklaus is 78. He's not going to claim the #1 spot ever again.

 

Don't see what this has to do with my post, but ok.

 

Didn't you say "the GOATs rapid ascension"??? GOAT == JACK!!!

I will say that the anti climactic way he's getting it ( someone else faltering) is pretty fitting. And I'll stop. Hate isn't lovely on anyone. I don't now why this kid irks me. But he does.

 

Oh wait, you were serious with your previous post? I read it as being sarcastic.

 

Do you actually think Thomas choked in Mexico?! He shot 64-62 over the weekend. He was 11 behind Sharma after 2 days. He had no right to be even in contention. He holes a wedge from the fairway on 18 (!), one of the most clutch shots of the year.

 

He choked it in the playoff? He bogeyed a hole that he also bogeyed in regulation, that had a clear advantage to a left-hander - it was a tight par 3 with a small landing area that clearly favoured a left-handed fade to a right-handed draw. It was also one week after he had just won in Florida...

And they pull me back in ......lol

 

 

Dead serious. Look at his face when phil is finishing out. HE hoped phil would bogey. He didn’t want to play for it. It’s writren on his face. Then watch his body language etc through the playoff hole. Phil was all over his head. The kid can go low. Yes. But every time he plays with tiger ( the hero etc) or gets close against it with anyone not Luke List he wilts.

 

What great battle has he out lasted someone of proven substance on ?

 

 

I agree with Jeff. I need to stop looking at this as the actual best player. It’s simply an AP poll if you will and will change with the next win. Tiger simply spoiled us into believing that it denotes the actual best. Or guy most likely to win anyway given week. He isn’t that.

7 wins in the last year and a half. Please stop.

He beat Reed, Oosthuizen, Molinari, Fowler and Matsuyama to win a major last year. Good list of players, and he did it with a clutch birdie on the 16th or 17th if I remember correctly. He beat Jordan Spieth to win the Dell Technologies in the Fed Ex Cup playoffs. It's only his 4th year on the PGA Tour, so it's not like he's had battle after battle with his greatest rivals. He's done alright so far.

Jack Nicklaus is 78. He's not going to claim the #1 spot ever again.

Jack has yet to be dethroned as the GOAT.

 

Congrats to JT.
