someone bet their life savings on Jimmy Walker?
Day is the perfect combination of extreme talent and extreme desire. He wants it as much as (more than?) Spieth and is as talented as (more than?) Rory.
At the same time it took him 9 years to get his 2nd win on the PGA Tour. It'll be interesting to see if he can keep it up - the Tigers and Rory's and Spieths won much earlier.
the dude has won 7 of the last 17 tournaments he's entered. he may have won the us open last year if the vertigo didnt make him curl up on the fairway in the middle of the round. he was tied for the lead after the third round. i dont think he is some kind of a fluke.
hey guys, Tiger says he still thinks he can beat Nicklaus
Yeah. He was a little wild and had those 2 muffed chips on 9, but his putter was Spieth-like. He made a number of clutch putts in the middle of the round to keep the separation. I think his A game is the best in the world. He hits it as far and as well as Rory when Rory is on, and his short game isn't much worse than Jordan's. Jason was also helped out by absolutely no one making any kind of serious run at him.
Speaking of Rory and putting, what has happened to his putter? Every time they show him on a green he's missing another makeable putt.
The guy who I thought might make a run was Matsuyama, but he had another lackluster final round. I like his swing, and he's no longer 1 of those secretly good players - I think everyone expects him to contend in majors now. But does any golfer in the world have more pressure on him than Matsuyama? When I went to East Lake last year, he had a Japanese camera crew on him at all times. There have been some nice Japanese golfers through the years, but none with his long game and all around game. And it's like he has the pressure of a nation directly on him. I hope that doesn't doom him and that he can win a couple majors.

I'm sure he can. Nicklaus is 76 years old.
