revkev Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Thanks for posting this, the one statistical accomplishment that I would add would be his best decade in the majors where he went actually eleven years with nearly all top 3's and only one MC. It was remarkable. The other thing to remember was that the season was shorter. Jack's early season schedule was geared towards the Masters. He would actually make over his game to hit draw and then put the fade back in for the US Open. The ball curves so much less today that players don't have to worry about it. They can fit either shot shape into any course most of the time. For the most part of his career Jack used the 15 or so regular events that he played in to prep for the Majors.

josmi15 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 The "most runners up" is, in my opinion, the most amazing. It just has the "WOW" factor for me!

PMookie Posted April 12, 2017 Author Share Posted April 12, 2017 Most top-five finished in Majors- 56​ Wowser just think if he had won a few more of those! That Bear was actually better than most folks realize. Doing the math: he entered 164 majors, finished Top 5 in 56... That's 34%! So, in 1 out of every THREE majors he entered, he finished in the Top 5! That's crazy.

GolfSpy Barbajo Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Read somewhere that he used the same 3-wood for every one of his majors. Don't know why, but that alone blows my mind...

I only want to argue one point, and I think most people forget it. Bobby Jones was technically the first player to have a "career grand slam". I know the majors were different back then, but also consider this: 1. He was an amateur 2. All the majors were won via match play Just my opinion but I thought I would toss that out there.

DawgDaddy Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 It is easy for me, Jack was the best pro ever and Bobby was the best amateur ever. Then the nod for best ever goes to Jack because of longevity, Bobby had bad health and hung it up while still great.

Sent from my Sprint LG G5 mobile device I love Arnie but he's not in their league on the golf course. Jack and Tiger stand apart.
