mmmkay, argue all you want, his career ain't over yet, Nicklaus' is.

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

If you've watched a large ammount of video of Nicklaus playing back in the day then you can make the statement, but if not you really can't. I personally don't know, cos all I've seen is Tiger as I'm not old enough to have watched Nicklaus in his heyday. You have to have seen equal ammounts of each at their best to say who's better.

[brock]

nicklaus had 73 top ten finishes. tiger has 28.

What?????


Woods has won thirteen professional major golf championships, the second highest of any male player, and 64 PGA Tour events, tied for third all time. He has more career major wins and career PGA Tour wins than any other
active golfer.


Where do you get your stats Wade? Your asshole?


Oh I see now, we're talking MAJOR finishes, well yes Nicklaus does have many more, but he also played 20 years longer.

I grew up watching Nicklaus son, he was NEVER as clutch as Tiger. Tiger never choked in a major, Nicklaus did. See the 1960 US Open at Cherry Hills

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

How old are you Rock out of interest?

[brock]

[LuckyTheWonderDog]

Haha fair enough.

Why are you here? Does it give you pleasure to follow around people that don't like you commenting on each and every one of their posts? I know you don't know shit about golf. Why don't you go moderate something that doesn't need moderating like you always do. Useless.

[SG]

Tiger is doing good right now. I want to see if his knee gives him problems today

[brock]

sorry, I won't berate you anymore as long as you promise not to be stupid, deal?

[hectis]

do u think tiger is the best athleste in the world right now?

[Dirty Knowledge]

I think we all know Rocco really deserved to win, considering he's the first to come back on Tiger down 3 in a Major like that. In all honesty I think I can say that..I think..I dunno..may be dissagreeres, but either way, the better man DID win...and not the better man for the day...which to me is a good thing too. Props to Tiger he's a dominant force I am glad I am able to say he played in my lifetime. Rocco's first two in sudden death really sucked, could feel that dude's pain.
