He's the crowd that bought in when the media tried to play up Rory as the next Tiger. It didn't fucking happen.

My point is keeping on saying it won't make it true. Tiger lost it. He's not Tiger anymore. He doesn't have an invincibility shield anymore. I wouldn't be shocked to see him win another one but 5 more?..... No chance in hell. It used to be a lock that tiger would catch and beat jack. Now it's a lock that he won't. Superman lost his cape.

Let's say he plays until he's 50.

12 more years, 48 more tries at a major. Again, barring injury...I think it will be close.

Dustin Johnson is living the dream.

He's making millions to play golf, he's marrying a hot chick, and his father in law is going to be the great one.

How much more could a man want out of life?

Who seriously is more talented than Rory? Just watching him in person and weekly the shots he hits are ridiculous, absolutely deadly accurate with tremendous spin. Plus he's only 22 yet has 11 professional wins and 2 majors already that he won by 8 strokes! Also was PGA Tour P.O.Y in 2012 at only 20, this guy IMO is the equivalent to Sidney Crosby in golf

Lol his back is going to hell and his knees already have. He's not Fred Couples with the nice smooth swing, he relies solely on incredible athleticism to drill the ball

rory has the most fluid and pure swing in golf but he's not the best player. He's got a swing that when he's on a roll, it's really hard to beat. But it's such an athletic swing built on timing that he'll never be as consistent as tiger and jack were. (Not that we will see anyone like those 2 again in awhile). But for Rory to get to that next level he's going to need a different swing that he can't count on whenever he needs it. One less built on timing and hand eye coordination. As of right now, I'd take kuchar over a whole season before Rory. Kuch has really found a swing that Will put him there every week. Rory doesn't have one of those.

Also Tiger had more wins by the same age. Again just stop with Rory.

I didn't say he wasn't good.

You said he was "more talented" than Tiger. He's not.

Matt Kuchar chokes big time. Hits it into the water on 18. Matt Jones though drains a 50 footer to put the pressure on him.

Then on the 1st playoff hole he holes out from the fringe, over the bunker for a birdie. Sends himself to Augusta with the win. It was clutch.

I didn't say Rory is better than Tiger at this point in his career, just currently
