Wow. Take...Garcia "slimmer" than Johnson. Wow. Take another look.<br /><br />As for the rest of it, the short version seems to be: you like who you like, without necessarily being able to explain why. Opinions differ. I find Bubba Watson to be an insufferable arse, for instance, and the crazy swing can't redeem that. Equally, Sandy Lyle: meh. That shot out of the bunker was pretty good, I suppose.

Looking even furthe...Actually. Whilst I'm here.<br />Looking even further down the final leaderboard, the only players that bomb it 300yds+ off the tee and I suppose could be described as "muscle bound hulks"(your words) finishing in the top 12 or so were Brooks Koepka & Adam Scott (both 6 foot pretty well exactly... although Scott does gave a 6 foot putter too!).<br />I put real money on Koepka because I think he will be VERY good quite soon (not because I like him... not at all... if I bet on people I like only I'd have put a bet on oh... I don't know... Sandy Lyle or Miguel Angel Jimenez for example (who both missed the cut)).<br /><br />When Scott was at the top of the leaderboard you predicted he might win.... thus immediately condemning him to drop 5 strokes and eventually finishing joint 10th.<br /><br />Interesting to note also that whilst Rory McIlroy wasn't at St.Andrews, he's almost the shortest golfer on either tour, but almost the longest off the tee also.<br />Is he a "muscle bound hulk"?<br /><br />Where I absolutely agree with you though is Zach Johnson's "sneaky" success.<br />What's that now. Two majors now and multiple tour wins.<br />As I said before it all kicked off, St.Andrews had a habit of having the best (of the best) win rather than the big boomers often.<br />I don't think Zach Johnson could be described as the best of the best (a bit like Oosthuizen) but pretty close to it...<br />The black rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321485116262834445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33388979.post-62794455502010725732015-07-21T07:12:45.996+01:002015-07-21T07:12:45.996+01:00Few things.

Why? <br /><br />2- Looking at the final leaderboard (or at least the top 9)... only Day and Garcia bomb it 300+yds plus and Garcia is shorter and arguably slimmer (your word) than Zach Johnson.<br />In fact the only people standing clearly over 6 foot in the top 9 finishers are Leishman (not long off the tee) and that beanpole Amateur. I think Spieth is 6 foot on the nose but hardly muscle bound and doesn't hit it much further than Johnson on average (290y vs 280yds).<br /><br />I'd rather have had Jason Day win thanks very much. He's due a little luck from the Jewish zombie. But he CLEARLY doesn't pray enough.<br /><br />On the subject of GAD, yes Bubba is tedious in that respect I know. <br />But, the man genuinely makes me smile each time I watch him hit a ball (crazy crazy swing) and the shape he puts on shots is incredible.<br />Not so for Zach Johnson. Not even comparable.<br /><br />So I'll leave the Zach Johnson "cherishing" to you bate.<br />You and Kool & The Gang.<br /><br />The black rabbithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01321485116262834445noreply@blogger.com
