In all seriousness you think Spieth will have 22 career wins by the time he is just over 27?

needs to win 8events in 3 years..

Yes

 

[MendieGK]

cant see why not he has already broke records and is only 23.

He's 24 in 3 days but 8 wins is a lot.

Not saying he he can't do it. But prior to last 2 weeks he'd not done much for a while

 

[moogie]

Rory is a 4 time major winner


Not some scrub

And.......???

We've all got opinions
You've shown huge bias and lack of respect towards Speith all week
So don't go crying on when others voice their opinion and do likewise against Rory

I've yet to hear Jordan mouth off to the world about financial gains from endorsements
He's got more class than that

surely its 8 in 4 years (plus the rest of this one), yeah i think he will have

There was one mention of Spieth in first 3 pages of predictions


Then he wins and everyone saying how great he is.

Think you'll find they are merely saying how great he was this week, and leading from start to finish is no mean feat and a well deserved winner

People also massively under appreciating Rory's putting this week! Wouldn't suprise me if he was above Spieth in strokes gained this week.

Rory had 107 to Spieths 112, Rory also had better Fir's over the 4 days, but nowhere near Spieths Gir stats,

A lot of the time Spieth was aiming at the rough, he said in his interview that was the play

Yeah just shows how bad he was approach to green doesn't it

Well I was doing it based on the fact Spieth is 24 this week, and when Rory won his 22nd event.

Havent been able to do it yet but would be intrigued by total wins as age 24.

Exactly, this week belonged to Spieth, the next could be Rory's.

I had money on McIlroy and Kuchar, but the scores don't lie, the best player this week was Spieth, this forum isn't the font of all knowledge

 

[BrianM]

Superb performance from Speith, love him or hate him he's been the best player all week, to have the mental strength to do what he did in that closing holes to win the claret jug is phenomenal at 23 years of age.

I believe this is Spieth's 14th win compared to 12 by Rory by age of 24

Rory had 11 worldwide wins and 2 majors at the age Spieth is now...

You say he has had a pretty poor 2 years - well if 5 wins in 18 months is poor for a 23 year old than thats some high standard we're setting.

I think he has proved pretty much everyone of your predictions about him wrong so far, so we will see if he adds another 8 wins in 4 years.

IMO he will have 5/6 majors and somewhere around the 25 win mark. I do think Rory has a better chance of winning the Masters before Spieth wins PGA though.

Ah ok cool. Both doing it in there own way!

what 'predictions' have I made? I asked a question around total wins. His record is absolutely undeniable

You're right a high standard has been set. Remember last season when everyone asked what's wrong with Rory, and look how he finished season.

You said he'd fade away and be a journeyman

Wasn't expecting too much, to be honest.
Jeez, was I ever wrong, just couldn't take my eyes off it.
Great golf, awful golf, lucky golf, unlucky golf, in fact ................ perfect TV golf.
Spieth surprised me with his mental strength and that strength was key, especially after the drive on the 13th, but to drop just one was superb.
Then to pick up five shots over the next four holes was mental.
A great victory followed by a great speech and Kuchar played his part with absolute honour.
Thanks for a great day in front of the TV :thup:.
