You trying to tell us that your amateur ability and knowledge is better than sports analysts who have played the game longer than both have been possibly living. They all tend to agree with me. You sound bias because Tiger isn't your favorite. That too bad because he is the best to ever play. Good luck to Yang for his lucky once in a lifetime victory. By the way, even Yang in an interview said he was lucky. He also agrees with me.

Ummm...."Yang in an interview said he was lucky."
Dah ! He said "lucky",not fluke.Thanks for your contradiction,stop trying to be so funny.

@Potsu,

Did you not read my dictionary definition of fluke? From the dictionary:

Fluke: a successful result, brought about by accident or stroke of luck. You should read more as well play more golf. Not a contradiction at all.

@jackseuol,

You really think Tiger was afraid that is why he didn't play the Honda classic? Read lostrune2 post again: Look at their records playing in the same tournaments. Yang will fade away into abscurity. Another person who will be hailed as the "Tiger killer" but then fades away like the rest.

Fluke: a successful result, brought about by accident or stroke of luck. Luck like the leader throughout the tournament having a bad luck on the very last day. The same player who previously never loss a tournament leading the entire time going into the final day. It is fluke.

Doesn't matter about their histories or futures, on that day Yang was better than Tiger, congrats to him. Now do us all a favor and shut your mouths.

It's too early to know if it's a fluke or not. If Yang uses this Major victory as a springboard to win more PGA tournaments in the future, then it's not a fluke. Hopefully he will, but current history is against him.

Tiger did not choke; he simply got outplayed on a bad putting day.

littlebigman,

First of all, you lack reading skills my friend. No one is saying that Tiger wasn't the best player!!! Others & I have mentioned this countless number of times!!! No one stated that Yang was the "Tiger Killer" as you have stated many times. You are twisting what people say to keep this agony of a discussion going.

Sport analysts agree with you? Like I said, when people don't play the sport, they usually end up trash talking on the sideline. Who was the one that mentioned Happy Gilmour? Hey Tiger! YOU CAN DO IT! You're that guy!!

jackseoul,

What is your point now? I have already said I play the sport. Once again, a wrong answer. I also gave you reasons and examples for my opinions. You and POTUS have been proven wrong a couple times on this thread. You seem to bee continuing to try to get the last word. You have been talking a lot and saying nothing. I have used a dictionary to define fluke. The match was fluke! Right, Jack?

So what? Even a good loser would praise/congratulate the winner even if it was a fluke. How old are you? It seems you're very far away from being a true mature person.
biglittleman at 07:18 AM JST - 23rd August

Mochiso7,

Who are you again? Read the first, second or third post of mine. I congratulated the man. Now that I have proven logically it was fluke, you want to change focus and say I'm not mature. Seems like you aren't mature. You should follow your own advice and congratulate someone on their debate. If not aren't you the pot calling the kettle black? Stay on topic.

biglittleman-the only thing u have proven here is that u should have given up a long time ago. a 4 stroke lead after 2 rounds. What a choke! thats truly Normanesque!

A fluke would be if he overshot the green, hit someone in the head, and then the ball bounced back into the hole.

He just outplayed Tiger, particularly on the green.

I hear Yang started late in life so we may seem him improve even more.

The amateur golfer who doubts the observation of professional golfers and analysts who also said it wasn't a choke. No wonder you are amateur golfer and they are the professionals.
hoserfella at 05:23 PM JST - 24th August

biglittleman- Every golf "analyst" on CBS said the obvious; not only did Tiger choke on many makeable putts, he simply got soundly outplayed by a steady and masterful Yang over the entire last round. Long live Korea's newest golfing hero, Y.E. YANG!!
biglittleman at 06:39 PM JST - 24th August

Fluke! Everybody needs someone to be proud of and give them hope. He wlll be a King in Korea forever but his 15 mins in the rest of the world will go by quickly. You should feel very fortunate to be witness to Golf's greatest player ever. Mickelson and the others do. Long live the age of Tiger. The world's Golfing Hero!
