[Apple Jack]

Wins first tourney as a single guy, smartest move he ever made dropping that anchor.

Too bad he apparently did it in such a pathetic way. Sure, have the guts to stay calm on a golf course, but then break up with your fiance, after sending invites out, by phone in a 3 min dumparoo.

Rory McIlroy - Champion Coward.

[Koya]

Guys pretty good at this golf thing.

 

[Abraham]

Dad stands to win a sum tomorrow

 

[mr roboto]

He's so damn impressive. He ripped a driver down the middle on the first hole. Just pure. 15 ft birdie putt drained.

 

[mr roboto]

#1 in the world again.

 

[mr roboto]

Wow. And the Tiger thread gets a few pages every weekend. But here, for the clear best, crickets.

 

[belljr]

Only negative he's not American

 

[mr roboto]

I said it 2+ years ago. This kid was the only one who could truly take over the sport. Now, he has.

 

[urbanhack]

He's hitting driver so much better than anyone else right now.....amazing.

 

[flapgreen]

In terms of careers

Rory + 2 majors + nailing Elin > Tiger + 14 majors + nailing Elin

If Rory could get one of Tiger's kid to call him dad on video he would easily get my vote for GOAT.

 

[Dinsy Ejotuz]

He let his excitement get the better of him on that last hole. Should have waited until tomorrow if he needed to.

But no doubt about it -- the next big thing is here.

Maybe my math is off, but (seriously) is 4 majors by age 26 worthy of starting to talk about tiger and jack? Tiger had twice as many at this age and was quite a bit more dominant on a week to week basis.

Rory has 4 and is just about 26, yes?

Tiget was born in 1975 and won...

Masters 97 and 01 and 02

British 2000

Us open 2000 and 2002

PGA 1999 and 2000

So, how is my math way off again?

So lop two off (even though tigers birthday is in December). Tiger at 6 and Rory at 4 at this age. Same question, that's worth starting the comparisons?

 

[SWC]

it was nuts how dark it was for real when they would show you the version of stuff that was not made by a night vision camera also is any one saying if it was rory who wanted to play up and ahead or if it was the pga guys telling him to take that to the bank brohans

 

[Ditkaless Wonders]

Really flirted with the water and a loss or a playoff on that last hole by swinging the driver. An aggressive style, but one that has produced two majors and three wins in a row so kudos to him.

Tiger was born in December and Rory was born in May. If you want an apples to apples comparison in terms of the year they were born and the majors played in that year then you should also not count the '01 Masters. Or you can count all 8 of those for Tiger and respond back here after the 2016 major season has completed once we know where Rory sits.

I would say so. I don't think Rory will reach Tiger or Jack but at this point it is worthy to discuss it. Rory is also 25 not 26. Jack at 25 had 4, at 26 had 6. Tiger at 25 had 6 then went on his run where he just crushed majors to get to 8 by 26. Rory isn't on Tiger's pace but he is not too far off from Jack's early pace. At 30, Jack had 8 majors. It's not too crazy to think Rory could win 4 more majors in 4/5 years.

Ok. So if Rory wins 4 of the next five they will be roughly even?

once again your math is off...4 of the next 8. of course, Tiger's early pace of winning majors was impressive but he has also gone 6 years without winning another one during the tail end of his prime. I think most reasonable people would say Rory doesn't need to match Tiger's early pace in order to challenge Tiger's 14 wins. If Rory matches Jack's pace and gets to 8 majors by 30, I would think he is definitely a threat to match Tiger's 14 before his career is over.

 

[SWC]

abe you must really like tiger because you really going at rory look what both of them has done is impressive and tiger has the better numbers for now but you always compare the up and comer to the guy on top i do not understand why you are pretending like that is so hard to understand take that to the bank brohans

 

[Village Idiot]

Dear Abe,

3 wins in a row against non ham n' egger fields where 2 of the 3 are majors is scary good.

The Rory era appears to be upon us.

Can he win 1 major a year for the next 11 years?

If he does he passes Tigers current major total.

 

[mr roboto]

Also, Tiger was far ahead of Jack's pace all the way up until last year. Basically, Rory is a few weeks older than Jack at 4 majors, and about a year older than Tiger at 4. I'd say the comparisons are fair.

To think he had a goose egg last year.

 

[derek245583]

Gonna be fun to follow either way.

That is how you win majors these days "Play aggressive" and nobody is more aggressive than him.

 

[SWC]

well yeah you play agrressive but also he is really good in just about every phase of the game he does not have a lot of holes so that helps brohans

 

[eoMMan]

Maybe the other golfers suck so much more these days?

 

[McGarnicle]

What's the process to claim him for America? Best golfer in the world being some foreigner doesn't feel right.

 

[Worm]

Fun to watch. Becoming a fan. It helps that he's a likable guy.

Golf is the most fun it's been since the Tiger domination days imo.

 

[belljr]

He could have 5 by the time he turns 26 since he is only 25.

 

[belljr]

McIlroy closed with a 3-under 68 and became only the fourth player in the last century of golf to win four majors at 25 or younger. The others were Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Bobby Jones, three of the game's greatest players.

Pretty good company

 

[Johnny Rock]

Great theatre yesterday. Lots of good golf and birdies galore from multiple golfers.

Rory's eagle at 10 was amazing. The ending at dusk was crazy.

Last year I believed he was adjusting to Nike clubs and now he's dialed in again. Fun to watch. Plenty of great golfers without Tigger. When Woods gets healthy all the better.

 

[Apple Jack]

40 going out and currently DFL.

The implication being he's on his way to Whistling Straits.

That's big news, considering how wide the range of opinions of timing was.
