Also related—a Buddy mentioned Scott has a Players too. As does Couples. Which doesn’t mean hardly anything to me but plenty of people think that matters.
Eh. I’m parsing. Solidify implies it’s in question. It’s not. He’s in by the standards of that Hall.
I would submit the leap he would be taking in stature is the lens to view this. 1 Major vs 2 is big but 2 DIFFERENT Majors is a different level to me.
Think of it this way—would Andy North or Lee Janzen trade one of their Opens for a Masters? JT one of his PGA’s for any of the other three? They are lying their ass off if they said no.
Remember, the WGHOF selection process has completely changed since Freddie, Monty and O'Meara got in. No longer a media vote. More of a selection panel with obvious biases. I have no doubt he'll get in, but a win today simply guarantees it. Being the Aussie who broke through at Augusta is probably enough already.
Didn’t know they had changed the process. But it’s still a media event at heart. If they did it just by who was truly worthy there would be plenty of years with no inductees. Which ain’t gonna happen obviously.
14 wins and a Masters already? Fred Couples had 15 and a Masters.
Scott is already in the HOF. Which, one Major shouldn’t be enough but fair is fair.
Well the story does say: "A win at Oakmont would solidify what is already arguably a hall-of-fame career for Scott."
