keefer0903 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 (edited) What are your thoughts on Scottie winning the gold medal and do you think he’ll be able to stay number one for as long as tiger was? Edited August 5 by keefer0903 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swood1994 Posted August 5 Share Posted August 5 I think Scottie deserved after a final round 62. Would’ve been nice to get Xander on the podium with him but I’ll take a USA gold any day! as far as Tiger’s World #1 streak record… I don’t think that is getting touched or broken for a very very long time, if at all. silver & black, keefer0903 and Byrnzee 3 Quote Current WITB: Driver: Paradym 10.5 Ventus Black 6S (currently Testing AI Smoke) Fairway: ST-Z 230 3-Wood (15°) HZRDUS Smoke Black 6.0 60 Official Test Hybrid: ST-Z 230 Hybrid (19°) Ventus Blue HB-8 Official Test Irons: MP-18 MMC (4-9) Wedges: Vokey SM8 (46.10F, 50.12F, 54.14F, 58.12D) Putter: Select Squareback 2 34.5 Ping Corded 88G PP58 grip double taped Ball: Pro-V1 Reviews: 2023 Red Rooster Sussex Glove Official Forum Test 2023 Mizuno Long Game Official Forum Test 2024 Skytrak+ Official Forum Test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tempotown Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Tiger's OWGR record will be untouched, forever. It seems like this year scottie showed some signs of humanity after his son was born (understandably) with his US open-Olympics performances, aside from travelers which is a birdie fest. That said when the guy is on he is not even close to number 2, Xander IMO, and Xander seems to have separated himself quite a bit from number 3. Scottie is clearly the closest we've seen to tiger since his prime from a ball striking perspective, and so far Xander seems to be the only guy who can give Scottie a scare on the big stages. So the question remains, who had the better year? Are majors more important that PGA Tour events? If so then it's Xander. Or are the Players and Olympics "mini-majors"? If that the case then it's Scottie. The FedEx Cup playoffs should be sick, especially since Xander is an East Lake machine, and it just went under renovation. Golf is the best. keefer0903 and silver & black 2 Quote Driver - Taylormade SIM 9 degree 3W - Taylormade RocketBallz Stiff 2H - Titleist Tsr3 15 4-PW - Titleist AP2 712 Stiff 52/56/60 - Callaway MD3 Putter - TM Spider X White Ball - ProV1 / Callaway Chrome Tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnSmalls Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 Scottie reminded everyone that he is number 1 for a reason. When he is on, the rest of the field is playing for second. Xander has had a great year but if you are to name a POTY right now, I have to give it to Scottie. If Xander wants a shot, he's going to have to get arrested on the way to his Sunday tee time at East Lake, get his mug taken, and make it back in time to win the Fedex cup.

Javs Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 (edited) Scottie definitely has the talent and makeup to become a generational talent. However, like Tiger and Jack before him, he has to go out and do it. Many said the same about Rory. While an exceptional talent Rory hasn’t come close to Tiger or Jack. Only time will tell if Scottie is deserving of being in the same sentence with Tiger and Jack. That is an exceptionally high bar!

Hook DeLoft Posted August 18 Share Posted August 18 Tiger and Jack were great putters. Scottie has been a much better putter this year but I don't think he will ever be as good as Tiger and Jack on the greens.

Scottie has been a much better putter this year but I don't think he will ever be as good as Tiger and Jack on the greens. And yet, he's beating the best players in the world more often than anyone else since those two ... and has been doing so for 3 years now. What does it say about him that he can do that without holding the distinction of being a "great putter"?
