Who's the greatest?

I was just reading Posnanski's latest missive, on golfing greatness. I really don't have anything to add to it, except one question that only occurred to me when reading the article. How many non-major tournaments have the players played in their career.

I know that if we were to compare playoff stats in most sports between Woods' time and Nicklaus' time, there'd be vastly more opportunities to win. I suspect it isn't as vast a gulf in golf as in, say, baseball, but I'd bet it's still a not-insignificant amount.

Congrats to McIllroy

I'm not a big fan of golf. It's fun to play, but not much less boring than watching paint dry to watch. It's never fun to see a player collapse under pressure, and McIllroy's at the Masters was quite disappointing. So it was great to see him stomp all over the memory of that tournament and keep that from becoming recurring demons.

So congrats on the magnificent tournament, Rory.
