| Some guy emailed me that this opens the door for Mickelson to win two majors in a row.
Huh?
Mickelchoke isn't going to win two more majors in his entire career, much less in a row. |

| If Tiger has been playing on a bad leg for this long, does this mean that he could possibly be more accurate off of the tee in the future? | |

The guy is massively talented and, like Tiger, when he reins in his driver, can win anywhere. US Opens at Pinehurst suit his game well, Augusta suits his game, St. Andrews should work well for him. Just doesn't make sense to count out a guy with the length he has and otherworldly short game. | |

| This isn't a diss on Tiger, but BPV, it's not like Tiger has been the Tiger of the PGA Tour during the Ryder Cup events. While I agree it sucks for the US, I don't know that it destroys any chance we might have had. | |

He hasn't been great in Ryder Cup, but the alternative is the number 13 guy on the list, and that's a huge fall off. | |

Of course, even back home, I don't think the US stands much of a chance again this year, Tiger or no Tiger. | |
