Fowler goes 6 under in 6 holes to make the playoff and wins it with a final birdie on 17 (the 4th playoff hole).
im sure it was a good night for him.

- Thread starter novabball2
- Start date
im going with the current gf. the other girl is too small. the rack on his current babe is top notch, top notch.
Fowler is 26 yrs old as is Rory, Spieth is 21. i really wish the media would stop labeling these players and just let them play. its hard to judge a player as overrated before they turn 27 years old. Phil won his first major at 33 yrs old and he certainly is not overrated. its the media that sets the expectations for these guys and their careers which is totally unfair. not everyone is tiger or jack they both set an unfair standard on how golfers are judged.
the 17th hole at tpc sawgrass and 12th at Augusta can take you out of contention in a heartbeat. its such good television.

Is Ricky Fowler the most popular golfer with kids? They like his small stature and bright clothes.
Fowler is "cool" and plays the game with some spark, he plays fast and kids can relate to him cause of his age and attitude. unlike old farts like Steve Stricker who seems like a good guy but he isnt a player kids are gonna want to see.
Great win by Richie on a great golf course. Didn't he switch
to Butch Harmon as a coach recently?
Will always say that Tiger was the best ever to play his sport..........hope he can get it together an d play competitive golf......but, really love watching Rickie, Jordan, and Rory....and we will be able to watch them for quite a while.
right now it looks like tiger is done. Phil can still win at augusta but thats probably it. tiger is a mess. too many injuries, too many swing flaws and no confidence.
yes - Ricky switched to Butch and of course Butch was all over golf channel yesterday. guy is a media whore.

Re Tiger it's less his swing and more just "nerves" -- not that he gets nervous or lacks confidence, it's that your steady youthful nerves "go" as you get older, for some sooner than others. He used to make every damned 8-10 foot putt that you saw, and now he seems to miss as many as he makes if not more. That's nerves. And I don't care about practice or whatever, you do not chip how he was chipping in the early spring just because you weren't at the range enough. I just don't think he's as steady as he once was, and I don't see how he gets that back. He's still very good at times and maybe he can squeak out another major, but it doesn't look like he'll ever dominate again regardless of commitment.
he needs 4 majors to tie Jack, in 2008 he had just won his 14th and 99.9% of golf fans thought he'd blow away the record of 18. now it looks like he'll be lucky to get to 15 and it will take a miracle to get to 16. the injuries are taking their toll. he did win 8 times from 2012-13 and only missed two cuts total in those two years in 35 tournaments. 16-16 in 2013. he has only played 11 tournaments total from 2014-current missing the cut 4 times.
2013 was only two years ago but his game is not even close to what he had in 2013.

he is too far gone IMO. he has tried really hard to be nicer to the media and fans in the last year because his game is in the toilet. if he gets it back he'll be the same old tiger. the guy is a dickhead, always has been , always will be. but he had a unique talent that people wanted to see. same with Jordan.

I like how all golf threads devlove into a discussion of why Tiger hasn't won 18 majors. It's like how all other sports threads lead to the CoP.
the news of his affair is starting to break all over the mainstream media. cant be good for his reputation.
People will rally around Tiger the moment he wins another major. Everyone loves a winner. MJ was about as awful a person as you'll find and he's still loved.
But he cares about stuttering kids. PR machine is hard at work.

does tiger have any friends? do the tour players like him? he seems like a guy who just cant find happiness. needs constant attention from women.
