Shankster 25,562 Posted March 5, 2019 Author Share Posted March 5, 2019 My point wasn't to be a smarta** even though my post kinda reads that way. Koepka has admitted to being pissed because he feels he is often overlooked. Seemed fitting! For me personally, BK winning 4 out of 7 would be monumental. Especially for a guy that seems apathetic toward regular Tour events. I couldn't imagine a more interesting outcome.I agree. He’s a “Major” player. Back to back US Opens, and 2 in one year. I like his style of play, he’s just so flat like his buddy DJ.Sorry, I’ve been watching a lot of highlights from the Jack, Johnny, and Seve era. There was a lot more flair and like able attitudes.Not discrediting BK, or DJ’s play. They both are on tour and I can only dream of playing near scratch.Haha. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Berg Ryman 3,594 Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 I agree that wins by Jordan, Tiger or Rickie would be huge, but in a selection I'm sure is going to endear me to most of the forum, I'm going for Bryson. The idea of him leaving pins in and dropping putts while science-ing his way to a green jacket would bring all the takes and perhaps finally show that he's more than what some people think as a sideshow or a flash in the pan. Give me Bryson! 2 Quote ST180, 10.5, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S Epic Flash Sub Zero, 15*, Kuro Kage Silver TINI Dual Core 60-S F9 Speedback, 18.5, Hzrdus Yellow 70-S G710, 4-UW, Blue Dot, Nippon Modus 105-S TW-W4, 56*, Nippon Modus 125 T20, 61*, Nippon Modus 125 Pipe Tour B-XS (2019) Link to post Share on other sites

Geesh, I get misty thinking about how Seve never got to really say goodbye to the fans. Fell off the map, got sick... didn’t get a proper send off for a 5 time major winner, and 90 wins world wide. Record owner EuropeanTour wins...Rickie is a stand up dude. A true gentleman, he needs to look his opponent in the eye say good luck but inside be wanting to smash them. (I’m sure he does). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

M. Parsons 658 Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I voted Tiger, but here are my top 3: 1. Tiger: This is not only the completion of his comeback, but keeps alive the chasing of Jack. Everything is bigger when Tiger is involved. 2. Rory: The completion of the career Slam is the obvious thing, but also helps to combat the perception that he's failing to cash in on his enormous talent. 3. Jordan: I know he'll have my interest at Augusta. I want Jordan to regain the form he had when it seemed like he just understood how to golf better than anyone else on the planet. A poor finish in the Masters would be enormously unsettling to me as a fan.I'm also a Jordan fan, and would like to see him get back to his winning ways. If there's a tournament where he's likely to win, it's this one. However, with that said, I think it's Rickie's time. But then again, Lefty is always down for some great play at Augusta. I would like to see Tiger in the hunt as well, hopefully he has a quick recovery.Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy 1 Quote In my Silencer King F9 set to 9*, Tour length Hzrdus Smoke Black 6.0 S-flex, with GolfPride MCC +4 mid-size SONARTEC 3W - 13*, UST Mamiya 65 Gold S-flex, with GolfPride G2 Tour Wrap Gigagolf.com - TXR Hybrid: 3H, UST Proforce V2 S-flex, with GolfPride G2 Tour Wrap G 2016, 4-PW, AWT 2.0 S-flex, +1/2", black dot, with Super Stroke - Soft Wrap TC - SM8 Tour Chrome, 50.08F - 54.10S - 58.12D Custom Fit 35" ER6 Red at 68 degree lie angle and 4 degrees of loft MTB-X NX7 Pro Slope Link to post Share on other sites
