Can you? It's widely reported that tigers won it 3 times and jack the same

They are reporting that there are only 6 grand slam winners, so I think you can only be a grand slam winner once.

The, so far never managed, actual grand slam is where you win all majors in a single season.

I honestly can't understand why so many like him, on a personality basis - every time he's interviewed he comes across very stroppy and whiny, and a bit up himself to me. Obviously others aren't seeing it that way, but I just cannot warm to him at all.

Rory the golfer though - I won't hide from the fact that I believed he would never win the Masters. It seemed like he would overthink it every year, wanting it too much, always had a blow-up round that put him out of contention, getting in his own way, mental toughness not quite there, etc. This time though, somehow, he just about held it together and got through all that and dragged it over the line. On the one hand, he was lucky that Bryson didn't bother showing up for the final round, but on the other hand, so many times we see how hard it is to play well when your playing partner (or whatever the term is for the competitor you're paired with) is having a mare and dragging you down with him. He had some awful holes on Sunday but hit at least three absolutely unbelievable shots when it looked like the chips were down.

I did always feel he had more majors in him, just didn't think he would get the green jacket - now that's out of the way there could be no stopping him. I reckon he'll add another 3 before he hangs up his clubs. Much as I don't want him to. ;)

You can't help yourself can you, you've never met him, spent any time with him. Personally I think you need to take a good hard look at your self and think, why I am trashing a person I have never met just because he won a golf tournament. It says way more about you than him.

Whilst your happily trash people you have never met on a forum?

Hello pot .. this is kettle
 
Not seen hardly a shot bar a couple Of highlights but that last iron into the 18th was right up there whilst under immense pressure. Chuffed he has got the green jacket. Some of his comments after were just pure heartfelt quality.

Takes it away a bit from jack and tiger if you can't. I mean tigers done the "tiger slam" and won the grand slam 3 times which is outstanding.. jack's won the grand slam 3 times..

It highlights just how good they are

I mean we count majors... Even if it's the same major over and over .. why not grand slams?

Why is it? It’s perfectly normal for some people to like and others dislike someone, my ex missus for example 👀🤣

In disliking someone I have to question why…what is it that irritates me and causes that dislike…and have I considered my own part in creating the dislike I feel - because as sure as eggs is eggs I’ll have a part.

Does something about that person offend or go counter to my own values or indeed shine a spotlight on something of myself that I don’t like or feel guilt about. But I just have to be careful about my own values and my own adherence to them. And if I admit to myself that I don’t always adhere to them - despite outward appearances - consider why..and consider the pressures, irritations and resentments that I carry around in my head that result in my thinking not being perfectly aligned with my own values - those things that, despite everything, cause me to think and act as I do. And I might well find that it’s actually got little to do with that person…it’s to do with me.

Then I think of the pressures and fears that Rory has carried around in his head every single day for the last ten years as he sought the Masters and indeed his next major…the things he feared he’d never achieve; the things he feared he’d lose…his marriage and potentially his access to his little girl.

When I think on that I realise just what an epic and life-affirming feat that fella has just achieved.
 
Hes won the uspga twice so he only needs to win the other 3 once more.

Wind it in. This is a forum, a forum is a place to give opinions. It's simply my opinion on how his personality comes across. It was nothing to do with him winning a tournament, I've had this opinion of him for a long time and it hasn't changed. He really doesn't need white knights like you defending him from comments he will never read or care about.

Edit: You even ignored all the positives I said about him so you could have a pointless dig at me. 🤷🏻‍♂️
