U.S. Open: Tiger Woods Will Be Back Ahead Of Nicklaus' Majors Pace If He Can Win This Weekend
By Jason Lisk
If Woods can survive the Open, then despite all of the drama of the last four years, the speculation about whether Woods can ever get back to where he once was, he will once again be ahead of Jack Nicklaus’ pace at the same age. Jack finished tied for 11th at the U.S. Open in 1976 at age 36, his worst finish in a major over an amazing stretch where he finished Top 10 in majors 22 of 23 times. Despite all those top 10’s, Jack would not win his 15th major until the British two years later at age 38. Tiger can get to 15 by Sunday. We don’t know how Tiger will age, but if he ends his majors slump (a slump most others would take), then the talk of Jack versus Tiger will again swing.
