Yeah, dude sucks. A lot of those other real players would have smoked him if not for the rain at Congressional. Rory's a fluke. He"ll never win another tournament after last year's lucky win in the US Open.

If Tiger gets his irons dialed in


There is a price to pay for hitting irons off of the tee all day. Tiger is losing a ton of yardage to dink the ball down the fairway with an iron from the tee.

Can't tell if this is sarcastic or not. With all these bold statements in this thread, y'all should really learn to put money on such statements so they can actually carry weight.

I don't think he sucks, but I'm tired of smoke being blown up his arse like he's the next Tiger. Plus, like someone said in one thread, he looks like a gay cowboy. And he's not American, so frick him.

Yes and no, he was pretty bad with his wedges today, but was pretty good with his mid to low irons.

He is T-3, not too shabby for dinking the ball around the course

You must be fricking joking. I scoff at the comparisons between him and Tiger, but the kid is seriously gifted. He will do great things (at least Mickelson, Singh level).

If I have 170 in from the middle of the fairway, I'll take my chances against someone that has 155 in from heavy rough. You win the Open by hitting fairways and greens, not the driving distance category

There is no next Tiger.

But Rory will be the best player on Tour for the next 10 years.

Not sure (sorry about my earlier post).

I think Tiger's got 4-6 years of good golf left in him. As one sportswriter said, when he's half-speed, he's as good as anyone.

Rory, Donald - bogey

Westwood - Double

Not a good start for the Europeans
