He's trying to get better about it at least. Jason Day on the other hand is just miserable. Loupe is really bad too.

And I don't think anyone will ever draw a crowd again like Tiger did.

He's making a habit out of finishing last or next to last here recently. And his swing is awful to look at. Not much to like about him besides the fact that he's one of our boys

I haven't seen him since I followed him on a Thursday for 9 holes at the Shell Houston Open a few years ago. He shot like 29 or 30.

Missed the cut.

I was in Arizona last weekend and followed him for a bit on Thursday. He had a rough go.

Peterson was in the final group, though. Hopefully Smylie can get some consistency to his game, as well.

DJ is the pinnacle of American golfing. Big strong athlete, smooth swing, cocaine user and general party animal, destroys the ball off the tee, hot wife who lacks a moral compass.

He is everything an American golfer should be

I believe Loupe had shoulder surgery in the off season.. he must not be 100%. Dude is throwing up 80's every week.

He had a decent enough year last year to retain his card. A few top 10s. Hopefully he gets it back on track.

Spieth is great.



Spieth will never be Tiger.

You know how we can tell he'll never catch Tiger?

If wasn't even in the vocabulary for Tiger. There was no "if" he does this or "if" he does that. It was just he "will"

Uhm, seeing as Tiger didn't win every tournament or major, if was absolutely in the vocabulary for Tiger.

And Spieth doesn't need 14 majors to be in Tiger's class. It's WAY harder to win now than when Tiger was winning his.

Spieth has a swing to last until he gets to the Champions Tour. And when his putter is hot, he can be hell to catch.

Tiger is another animal - the 2nd best golfer of all time. We probably won't see anything like that again in our lifetime.

Comparing the 2 is unfair to both.

I do think Jordan can catch Phil in total wins - it might not be as sexy or exciting but he has the potential.

Spieth has a steady swing that could allow him to be competitive well into his 40s. Nicklaus won his first major at 21 and final one at age 46. Tiger got all of his in just over a decade but he's destroyed his body with his swing. It's a career, spieth is looking good.

In other words, JD without the personality.
