Would love to see a Tiger/Rory Ryder Cup match.


I wanted this for today. But alas, Tiger couldn't answer the bell.

Game, blouses!

Coming soon, Choupique bumps from the 2011 US Open threads. I told everyone then that Rory was special. He's not a one hit wonder.

Youngest in modern era to 2 majors
US Open scoring record
Youngest PGA champion ever
Two blowout major victories
World # 1 ranked player

Looking ahead...

Interesting storylines leading up to the 2013 Masters

Does Rory further stake his claim as the best in the World right now?

Can Tiger finally win?

Can Bubba repeat?

Can Phil get the Masters magic going?

Can Westwood or Donald finally breakthrough?

We get it man. You "called it" that Rory would play well this weekend.

Not to rain on your parade, but I can't think of many one hit wonders that win a major by 8 shots

ETA: When Rory is on, he is the best in the game right now.

Tiger is #2... not in majors however

Yeah I think everyone has known since that US Open that Rory was going to be the next "great" golfer.

You'd be surprised at how many chalked Rory's big win up to wet conditions at Congressional.

I never said he would approach Tiger numbers, but Rory is going to finish with near double digit major wins.

One thing we have learned this year is that he can get distracted/disinterested after achieving some big wins. So nothing is a given.

This is the only disconcerting thing I see in Rory's game.

He certainly has a chance to be one of the great ones.

OK. Now that we have seen the 4 majors this year. Are you ready to say that Tiger just doesn't have what it takes to win another???? Sure he has been decent this year, BUT on the BIG STAGE he has failed.

I got married in Fairhope.

We go back for weekend trips every 6 months or so.

Maybe we can play sometime.

If he's going to win #15 any time soon, I would expect it to be the Masters.
