Not one person gave Tiger a run yesterday. Not one...at any time (besides the eagle putt I suppose). I personally believe it had more to do with the course conditions than intimidation from Tiger. Only time will tell but to jump on the bandwagon like he is going to blow by Jack now is just silly. It's been 10 majors since he won one. This is the 3rd time in his career he has gone 10 without winning.
Also, McLdouche is legit. Trust me on this one. He is like 23. The guy is for real and will be around for a loooooong time. No, he will never be Tiger. I do agree with that. Tiger will go down as arguably the greatest of all time, regardless of if he passes 18.
Tiger will win 18+, Rory won't win 9. That makes him half a Tiger. No one will ever fear Rory on Sunday. Rory is a fine golfer, but he can't hold Tigers jock when they are both at the top of their games.
Rory won by 8 strokes, not 15. Tiger actually has won by 15 strokes in a major though. Oddly enough, that's about half a Tiger. Rory is in his 5th year as a pro and has 5 worldwide sanctioned wins. By the end of Tigers 5th year he had 20 wins including 5 majors (all 4 and The PGA twice). Tiger was 24 at the time, Rorywill be the same age. Rory can't hold a stick to Tiger.
You keeping using terms like "blow past." I haven't been that audacious. Tiger is 4 away. To think he wins one freaking major every other year for the next ten years isn't even a stretch whatsoever. That would put him at 19.
