Default Re: Vijay

"Is Vijay as much better than everyone else right now as Tiger was in '00?"

I think not as well. Tiger was winning tournaments by tons of strokes. Not sure if it was in '00, but the U.S. Open at Pebble comes to mind.

Though maybe our thoughts about it are colored by Vijay's relative lack of charisma compared to Tiger. Sort of like when Jack started beating Arnie. People were hesitant to grant Jack entrance into the pantheon of greatness because he was colorless and workmanlike, as opposed to the flamboyant style of Arnie.

Maybe this is the same thing. But maybe not. I think it wil be tough for Vijay to sustain since he's over forty years old.
