TW After Carnoustie

[Naptime]

Overall a good outing, I think. Did better than most of the young guns. One awful hole and some disappointments. His finish is about where he was in his peak years when he didn't win.

 

1997 24th, then 3, 7, 1, 25, 28, 4, 9, 1, 1, 12, 2009 MC.

Maybe a bigger disappointment for Jordan, who could've won shooting even par today. TW started the round four back, was up against it all day. Hopefully he learned something about himself today, press onward. Game looks good.

I believe a T5 will get him inside the top 50 in the OWGR?

[Fairways_and_Greens]

I predict a 700% increase in Tiger specific threads in WRX Tour Talk that are slight variations of each other.

Spieth crapped the bed.

Pretty sure it does. I think they said T8 or better would get him inside the number.

[IThinkSo]

He's right there. I think he gets at least one major in 2019 and once he gets that one, I believe that'll give him the confidence he needs to win a few more and surpass Jack.

Good, that means he plays the Bridgestone!

I love these comments... Like him, love him or hate him we will never see a 14 time major champion in our life time. Appreciate what we have been fortunate to see over the last 20 years. he almost pulled this Open Championship off.

[TheMoneyShot]

Sands just said to TW “we will see you at Bellerive” so maybe he is not playing the Bridgestone.

Very well said!

[sefus12]

I've heard both, so I'm not really sure where he will end up. That missed putt on 18 could have cost him. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

[golfnoob25]

Did he choke?

No, but some say YJS and Kisner did...

You knocked your straw man out of the park. Congratulations.

[FargoRC]

Did he choke?

 

Even par in those conditions not exactly a choke.

Get over yourself. Go stew and interject some irrelevance somewhere else.

Putter really let down Jordan on the back nine.

[legitimategolf]

Right now I would pick TW to win a major before Jordan. TW seems closer to major winning form.

[Cwebb]

Where is "the needle" right now....and where does it need to move to, in order to be fully entertained?

I could see TW winning the PGA Championship. That course is perfect for him.

[golfnoob25]

Looks like he's not in the wgc by 1

Just gives him extra time to gear up and win at the PGA Championship!

"Almost" only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

People said the same thing about Jordan. Then along came Lebron. They said the same thing about Sampras. Then along came Federer. They said the same thing about Montana. Then along came Brady. They said the same thing about Kasparov. Then along came Magnus Karlsson. They said the same thing about Nicklaus. Then along came Tiger. There's ALWAYS another transcendent player on the horizon. And he'll be here in your lifetime.

That formula is such a joke

 

Edit: actually it’s pretty good however in tigers case it’s an anomaly

[Naptime]

Not sure team sports excellence is comparable to individual sports. In golf it's Jack and Tiger. The rest are a tier or more below. In tennis it's Federer and Nadal. Most great players aren't really transcendent; they're just consistently good over some period.

I don’t know anything about Belrieve, but I’d say most of the recent pga champ courses favor someone like Rory, not tiger, unless he gets better with the driver ......

[dlygrisse]

Did he choke?

 

He didn’t choke, but he didn’t exactly seize the day like the Tiger of old.

[elwhippy]

Still work in progress but a win must be on the horizon soon.
