Finless Posted August 15, 2009 Author Share Posted August 15, 2009 So your "research" revealed nothing. Thats what I thought.Phil Turned Pro in 1991. You would figure a historically important golfer such as himself would have finished first on the tour at least once, no? In 18 years of golfing this historical golfer has finished 2nd on the tour 3 times. His numbers are good. I just made a statement that he's not "historical". In a 3 year span Vijay finished 2nd 1st 2nd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Das Boot Posted August 15, 2009 Share Posted August 15, 2009 Couldn't confirm the amount before today's 2nd round, so I'll gracefully let Fin off the hook. It looks like he'll take enough of a beating as it is..You think this was just like an open offer to anyone on the webs? Like you could just jump in without my confirmation and you're money would be good here? I'd have to confirm any bets.I'm honestly not liking my chances but there's a decent chance we;ll see Tiger burying his 5 iron into the rough.Which is taking more miles off the odometer, this guy or Fin's massive backpedaling effort in here? Guy is putting on a clinic.Sorry Oat, we're not on. I only cleared one bet and that was with PizzaDeliveryGuy. Figured if I wanted to see anyone get lucky it should be the guy driving pies around for a living.Never thought you'd pull a Chase here.I'm just hoping we won't have to fire up one of these for Fin.

But if Phil was as dominant as Nicklaus he would have been the perennial runner-up, no? He's been a runner up 3 times in nearly 2 decades. I don't see that as historically significant. Good? yes.

Ned Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 Tiger Woods- 248 evets, 70 wins.....28.2%Jack Nicklaus- 594 events, 73 wins....12.3%Phil Mickelon- 327 events, 36 wins....11%Arnold Palmer- 734 events, 62 wins....8.4%Tom Watson- 595 events, 39 wins....6.6%Granted, the percentages come down as you play into your 50's and 60's....but nah, Phil is nowhere near as prolific a golfer as some of the all time greats. Get a clue guy.Get a clue? Is this a list of the best winning percentages ever or did you just decide to grab a few popular names? I think you may have left a few people out of the mix, guy.Who else would you like to see? These are widely considered some of the greatest golfers of all time...Anyone who has a winning percentage better than Arnold Palmer is doing pretty well...wouldnt you say?What kind of numbers did you uncover in you research? Anybody on tour today you would like me to look up? Vijay? 8%Sergio? 3.7%Paul Casey? 1.2%Who else would you like me to give you? Its not really even close. He is easily the second best player on tour. You just seem to have zero knowledge about the game of golf.Knowledge about the game? Like sitting around watching golf all weekend?
