Only Fuzzy has ever won his debut. I don't think a couple rounds in college will be near enough

What does that have to do with anything? Only 3 left handers have ever won

If Tiger wins at Augusta, no way VB gives it any credit due to it being at a course he's won at multiple times before.


Right? Because courses never change once they are built.

Yeah, he's basically semi retired. But he's playing Houston, then Augusta

This thinking is just dumb. The guy has been so good that he has been able to cruise to victory halfway through the last rounds. Id say thats pretty damn good even though you wouldnt because its obvious that nothing the guy does will ever be good enough for you.

Tell me this. If another team(in whatever sport you choose) is so dominate that they are able to pull their starters and play second stringers once the fourth quarter comes around wouldnt that be pretty dominant? Its the same thing with Tiger playing conservative to get the wins he has but to you that is bad.

The way the course is set up. A lot of holes bend to the left. A cut is a natural and safe shot for a left-handed player. Most right-handers are required to draw the ball, and that can lead to dangerous hooks that spin into oblivion.

There aren't many left-handed pro golfers.

While the holes bend to the left, the greens are much more receptive to a fade. There's a reason Nicklaus won 6 times at AN playing a power fade.

Last tournament of any significance that I won, I went into the 18th with a five stroke lead, after having a seven stroke lead going into 17, which I bogeyed. The 18th was a par five hole. One of my competitors made birie. I shot a double-bogey.

So, I was +3 in my last two holes, and still won by two. What's your point? I kicked everyone's arse and laid back the last couple of holes and didn't take chances. That strategy cost me strokes, but I knew I had a lot of cushion. You saying winning AND giving away strokes isn't still WINNING??
