He's in danger of becoming the next Montgomerie, but you have to be so ridiculously talented to get so close so often. I think people will forget that all too readily."Worldly wisdom teaches that it is better for reputation to fail conventionally than to succeed unconventionally." - John Maynard Keynes

I'd have to queston Westwood's bottle at this stage. Just looking at the top of the leaderboard and he shot the worst round of the top 9 finishers.
He deffo blew up in the Open last year when he bogeyed 3 of the last 4 and the same thing happened in the US Open in 2008, he was leading it at the turn playing with Tiger and bogeyed 3 of the next 4 holes.
I really do hope he goes on to win majors, I've always liked the guy and the way he came back from a Duval/Striker like slump has been incredible.'Mental Toughness is doing the right thing for the team when it's not the best thing for you' - Bill Belichick

He nearly caught POD didn't he . Remember the Ryder cup comments. hmmm hmmm?
i think he's a future major winner.
Westwood is a classy guy just watched his interview there.

in a long birdie, Watson fcked up , had westwood rolled up for a par he'd have made the playoff. He also birdied the 17th hole it took Phil many close calls before he took a major down.

I like Poults FWIW but there is too many great British golfers I.E Monty , Westwood , Clarke that couldn't do it. Don't think Poulter has half the talent of these lads and will have to catch a lot of golfers off form to win a major. All imo of course.

I think he's an over rated show-boating attention whore. its just my opinion Willie, like I don't hate anyone really ( except Faldo), the guy just rubs me up the wrong way but each to there own.

Originally posted by the aul switcharoo View Postis he even 17 yet. he was off +4 before he was 16 and British open at 16 so he has sick talent. I think (after seeing the other interview with him) that the Italian amateur association are looking after him well too which is probably jkust as important. With the 2 mario brothers aswell italian golf is looking up

re nearly catching Pod, well he didn't really,. He shot well when he knew he had no real chance.
Its a bit like how I feel about Kim, I've said to anyone that will listen that when Kim contends he's a lay but will win tournaments shooting low in the final, like he nearly did today round, I was wrong on this last week but only just.Last edited by nicnicnic; 11-04-10, 23:21.

As Ian Poulter strode down the fairways of the back nine at Royal Birkdale last year he looked like a man who thought he could win the Open Championship. As the wind threatened to derail the challenge of the last pair Greg Norman and Padraig Harrington, plenty of observers thought Poulter was going to win the Open Championship too. And when he holed a fine putt to make par on the final hole many believed the Claret Jug was still within his grasp. He had been impressive and won over many doubters. Unfortunately Harrington was even more inspired and Poulter had to accept second place, but it had the look of a turning point in the Englishman's career. It convinced Nick Faldo (and Harrington too) that Poulter deserved to play in the Ryder Cup where he starred for the European team. This year he very nearly won the fifth major (the Players' Championship) and was third in the Open de France earlier this month. He is also a vastly under-rated performer on the big stage. If we agree with the hype and include the Players', his last 19 starts in the five majors have garnered 14 top 30 finishes, eight of those in the top 20.

Originally posted by eagle eye View PostIn fairness his career will be a movie if he wins a major, the guy did it the hard way. He was never a top amateur, worked his way up through the Tours and he might have made the top 5 in the world rankings after this week. Its an incredible story.

The guy is a supreme example for young kids. Turned pro off four, couldn't get a proper pro job at a private course so went as assistant pro at a public course. His boss wouldn't let him play comps unless he paid green fees, so he decided to pack it in and go out on the grinder tours. Anyone who knows anyone who has ever played them knows the sheer hell those things are. I don't know the percentages but I'd say the chances of people coming through them as opposed to the collegiate system or being a wonderkid a la McIlroy is very small. To not only grind out those tours to get your tour card at the super harsh q-school, but to then win rookie of the year on the full tour is insane.
To be in the World Top Ten having had the natural talent he had, or perhaps lack if it would be a better fit compared to 90% of pros, is sick. Regardless of your feelings on him personally, and lets be honest 90% of Irish people are going to dislike a flash Essex boy, he is a supreme grinder, and a fine example to young people that if you want something bad enough you can achieve it with alot of hard work.
I wouldn't begrudge him a single dollar he wins.Last edited by The C Kid; 11-04-10, 23:33.

I guess I'll have to try to watch some golf next time it's on seeing as you are all creaming yourselves over it so hard.X can be anything, any number, that is what’s CRAZY about X.
Because X doesn’t roll like that, because X can’t be pinned down!
