I was at a benefit and just briefly checking in throughout the day. I forgot he had that double bogey late. Thought he was at -18. So, the 22/23 probably won't happen.
I agree that Rose/Mickelson can make this interesting, but gut is that the kid closes this out and breaks the course record.

Tiger is the most unlikable pro athlete ever. i can just see him in ten years, all his talents gone, sitting at the dinner table by himself , no friends, no family. he deserves it.
Phil is unreal. 45 and still has it. even if he pars those 3 holes he bogeyed on Sunday he still loses by 1. Spieth was too good.
Jack was 46 in 86 and considered old. Phil showing he can compete for some time well into his 40s. how times have changed. remember Jack almost won in 95 with a charge on Sunday.
Ben Crenshaw has some hot daughters.

as well as Spieth this year played and tiger in 97 it shows getting to -20 i almost impossible on that course, you are gonna make some bogeys, its too long and too hard a course to not give a few shots back here and there. the key is to birdie 3 of the 4 par 5s each round and avoid a double on 12. you do that and you have a chance.

People hated MJ too. I don't think he minded, and I don't think Tiger does either.
Common denominator here - they both have the killer instinct champions, and GOAT need. Same with Kobe.
true - and all 3 are horrible human beings. all three have cheated on their wives with a public fallout. Jordan not so much cause his issues came to light after his playing days.
i still have a hard time believing Jordan left basketball in 94 and 95 on his own terms. i think he was suspended by the NBA very quietly.
can you have the killer instinct and still be a likable person?

I would argue that pro athletes that suck at their jobs (see Howard, Ryan) are more unlikeable than awesome ones whose every itch is scrutinized.
I don't know what Woods is talking about w "popped the bone back in". if he really dislocated one of his wrist bones he wouldn't be able to continue swinging a golf club, that's for sure.

Thank God for you guys. I thought I was the only one who expected all pro athletes to be orthopedic experts.

Hard to believe you could type that nobody likes a Cinderella story in a thread with this many mentions of the 1991 champ, who got in as the 9th alternate.

There you have it. It's a high quality product that would lose some of it's allure if it gets diluted with Doritos and Sketchers ads.
just like in the NCAA tourney its nice to have an underdog story but when it comes down to the finals you want two powerhouses playing. in golf, Phil, Tiger, Spieth, Rory, Bubba, etc.
the only underdog id route for at Augusta would be an Amateur. i want Phil to win yearly. i love watching him go for every par 5 no matter what his lie or tree issues are.

1. At the time Daly won the PGA in 91, it was a Cinderella story. Probably the biggest one in major championship history, save perhaps Ouimet over Vardon in 1913.
2. You're conflating one hit wonders with underdogs. Shaun Micheel vs. Chad Campbell down the stretch at Oak Hill? Who cares. Bob May firing three straight 66s at Valhalla, including 5 under on the back nine on Sunday? Crazy not to be pulling for him in that playoff.
3. Watson shot a great first round then hung on for dear life. Not an indictment of the tournament at all. The top of the leaderboard was solid.

May was a golfing prodigy in his day but his pro career never quite got going.
that playoff with Tiger was great. May played so well all week, but that was tiger at his best.
