Will Rory McIlroy choke in the US OPen like he did in the Masters

[ginscpy]

Niclklaus was just getting his 2nd wind after going through a droughtof his own - no majors from 68 -70 - until he won the 1970 British Open.

Had said he was disinterested in golf - then his father died.

Got re-generated.

Agreed. No Tiger chasing him, either....

Tiger is done...... the steroids did their damage, the extremely violent swing has destroyed his knee and he will not be anything close to what he was. Golf is a game of mind over muscle, his mind was always his strong suit...... and his control of the minds of his competitors was a huge part of his success........ that is gone, these kids aren't the least bit afraid of that old guy. There are 18 year olds shooting 57s and 58s in competition, they couldn't give a shit about Tiger. He may win again but he will not beat Jack's record in major wins......that's a good thing, there isn't any comparison between what Jack did and what Tiger has done......everything has changed. It would be as if Baseball would allow titanium bats filled with cork and compared that number of home runs with those hit by traditional bats

Ask rory about that in the previous major. Put Tiger behind rory in the next one, see what happens. Everything has changed? WTF does that mean? Super breast milk now? You're an idiot.

Tiger just isn't the same since his shortest drive...

There's no such tournament as the British Open. It's The Open Championship!

Nicklaus was in a mental funk from 67 to70 - should have been the best golfyears of his life.


Didnt play well.

Then when Doug Sanders missed a gimmee put to win in the 1970 British Open - Jack won in a playoff.

Re-energized his career.

That is why I think the predictions of Tigers demise may be premature. He had a bad injury atthe US Open and gave one of the most courageous efforts in sports history. He has not been the same since. His personal problems have also messed with his head. There is nothing to say he can't win tournaments in his 40s if he can get healthy and get his head back in the game
