GP, in your rush to support your hero, you make my point. Your google search gave you plenty of good examples of players who will be remembered for their potential for greatness. Norman especially - will FOREVER be remembered for his epic collapses in the biggest moments. Speith - for what he MIGHT have been. Rory for being the best player in the world but decomposing into a decade-long collapse with no answers. Ernie - "always the bridesmaid" Els. Adam Scott - please.... Or maybe David Duvall, Rocco Mediate, or 100 others that played great golf through periods of their careers.

Funny you never mentioned Nicholas, Palmer, Player, Snead, Woods, Watson, Faldo, Byron Nelson, or Bobbie Jones.

I could have made a military analogy just as easily and pointed out how some men find success at leading a platoon, company, brigade, division, or even an entire army against an inferior military force, but would NEVER be able to compete with an military force led by a genuinely great General/Admiral like Rommel, Yamamoto, Robert E. Lee, or even Sitting Bull or Geronimo. Thank God for the genuinely great American military leaders like Eisenhower, Nimitz, Patton, MacArthur, Halsey, and Grant. I wish there had been such leaders in place in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

Analogies are simply tools to make a point. While I'm certain most readers understood my point, reflexive Dak supporters will always ignore the bigger point being made by repeatedly and giddily pointing to his stats or reminding us how other good players also fail occassionally. Those things are true. No one denies them.

My point dealt with GREATNESS. Your counterpoint defended "pretty good most of the time".
