Rory Takes Down Brooks

Dude played 19 events this year on the PGA Tour and finished top 10 or better in 14 of them. He was absurdly good all year long.

 

Why the constant hating and bashing of this guy? Taken as a whole, Rory had arguably one of the best seasons on the PGA Tour for an individual since Tiger in his prime. I think he's the best player in the game, and talent-wise, its not close. Much like Tiger in his heyday - if the putter cooperates for him at even at an average amount in a given week, you need to play out of this world to beat him.

Nicklaus “not relevant to today”? Surely you jest.

What relevance DOESN'T Nicklaus have in Rory's win. Rory could've at least thanked Nicklaus as a nod to those who came before him.

How many years folks been saying that one? LOL.

 

He was plenty motivated, allegedly, after last season and with his start to this season, then . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Yep, there seems to always be something that leads so many to believe he has found a new motivation similar to what he had earlier in his career. I have no doubt that some of that early motivation was money, but now that he has more of that than several generations should be able to spend, that has to be gone to a very large extent now. Maybe his form over the course of this season will be some sign of him "wanting it" again, but until we are able to actually see him come out and actually prove that, I will reserve judgment on it.

In that he should thank Palmer, Snead, Hogan, tiger and every other great player, especially tiger since the event purses skyrocketed after tiger came on the scene and definitely after last year since the pot jumped several million for the winner.

Really? Hogwash. We don't need winning players thanking everyone and their dogs. What do you want the Academy Awards? Did Jack give him a putting tip this week or something?

 

You thank those directly responsible for putting you into position to win. Coaches, trainers, caddie, tournament sponsor, agent, equipment rep, host site/city, golf facility staff, volunteers, family etc.

Are you trying to say Tiger Woods did more for the game of golf than Jack William Nicklaus? I will warn you, good sir, if you speak ill of JWN on this site, or even allude to any of his transgressions, they will ban you. There will be no logical explanation. You will be banned. I suggest that you put some respect on JWN's name, as Rory should have in his post-round press conference.

I don't think he's being serious although you can never tell on Golfwrx

Brooks was called "Bruce" at least two times during various coverage that I watched this year.

One time each by Verne Lundquist and David Duval.

 

 

 

Remember our forum friend who called him Bruce?

That was awesome.

I agree, no need to thank Jack for this. Jack already went out of his way to show he is upset with how much they are getting paid now. I don't see how jack plays into this equation...

He doesn't. FTR, I don't actually think Rory should've thanks Nicklaus.

I agree! My opinion is he needs a new sports psychologist to help him get his mind right. Or if he doesn't have one yet, he needs to get one.

A mind or a sports psychologist?

Rory probably doesn't even realize that in Jack's prime he played with persimmon woods and balata balls.

I see the confusion in how I wrote that, but he might need both!
