Might be right after all.
I don't think 'over par' means what you think it means.

Exaggerate much? I guess you prefer "SIR" Nick Faldo, who loves nothing more than telling us how he did everything 20 years ago?

All miller does is talk about how it was done back when he was playing.
Bubba runs away with the Masters and Kaymer runs away with the US Open.
Terrible year of majors so far. Basically zero drama. Especially disappointing because Augusta played perfectly and Pinehurst was an awesome venue.
And yet when Tiger Christ was doing the same thing- winning with huge margins- everyone was creaming their panties over how awesome it was. The fact that there are 15-20 guys who can win a major on any given weekend is where real golf fans can find excitement. Granted the drama in Kaymer's win wasn't there but Compton's story was compelling. But there's a definite double standard when it comes to looking at large margin wins.
There is a big difference between Tiger competing with history and one guy among 15-20 guys blowing away the field.
What do you think Kaymer was doing this past week? He was competing with History as well. First person to every shoot 65 at #2 (in a US Open), and he did it twice in a row. If Tiger had done it the slobberfest would have been unreal.
You realize Kaymer is German, right?
Replace Kaymer with Spieth and it would have been plenty nuts.
You mean like the one for Rory? Or how crazy it would have gotten if Compton had won?
I get the angst when coverage shows Tiger all the time when he's 15 shots back and the guy who's second gets no air time (although Phil got the same treatment this time around), but turning this US Open into a Tiger bitching session is a little ridiculous. Kaymer's a german guy who was off the map for years and has a friendly, easy disposition. When everyone really started watching on Saturday and Sunday he played smart, safe golf and coasted to a win.
Comparing that to Tiger destroying the field at Pebble is crazy.
