In fact he could be just as good as he was back in the day but the field is just a whole lot better now.<br /><br />See what a few extra hot dogs and beers can do for your game?GolfToImpresshttp://www.golftoimpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-51035069967863460582009-06-23T15:22:12.270-04:002009-06-23T15:22:12.270-04:00Although it took a while, the final round wasn'...Although it took a while, the final round wasn't too bad, except if you were cheering for Mick. This guy dazzles you with his brilliance & at the same time lets you down with his simple gaffes. All the experience he has & he comes up short on 17, & those 2 puts for par. Mick, you were tied for the LEAD!!!<br /><br />That is why there is Tiger & the rest of "the field". Tiger's in position & he comes through. Mick is in positon & you just don't know.<br /><br />If anyone says that his mind was elsewhere is copping out. When you are a pro athlete playing a competitive game, your mind is at the event, the moment. When it is all over does it change.<br /><br />Mick needs a mental coach. There is no way that this guy should have only 3 majors, too much talent for that.Jimmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-885874840767942892009-06-23T08:17:28.384-04:002009-06-23T08:17:28.384-04:00Glover's victory is doubly credible because of...Glover's victory is doubly credible because of the conditions that the tournament was played under. He overcame those conditions and prevailed, and deserved the trophy he hoisted yesterday.<br /><br />Armchair, I agree completely with you about Duval. The man has been to the top, fallen to the bottom and has the courage to not only get back up and get back to work, but also to excel once more. That should be an inspiration to anyone.Charles Boyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672533578474522766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-76449957560663615982009-06-22T21:10:28.196-04:002009-06-22T21:10:28.196-04:00Miranda: I heard a mention of an asterisk on an NP...Miranda: I heard a mention of an asterisk on an NPR interview with New York Times golf writer Larry Dorman. The reason: Because the course was wet and the draw favored one half of the field early in the tournament. Dorman was asked if Glover's win might be considered less credible due to the above.The Armchair Golferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07086916747302169325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17206449.post-74474610224647316832009-06-22T21:01:54.742-04:002009-06-22T21:01:54.742-04:00Are they (the media) starting that Asterisk thing ...Are they (the media) starting that Asterisk thing again?! Let me guess - it's all because their precious Tiger didn't win and they need to make excuses to satisfy the sponsors who pay for the commercials. One of these days the media is just going to have to suck it up and realize that there are other golfers out there who might deserve to win tournaments. Today we saw several of them: Glover, Fisher, Mickelson, Duval, and for three days Ricky Barnes. If the Asterisk is used on this tournament record book, then it should stand for 'yes, Tiger was in the field' so Glover will get all of the respect he deserves for coming out on top.Mirandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16773283282958506094noreply@blogger.com
