Greatest Ever!?!

Tiger comes in second, thereby making him the greatest golfer ever. This is not a real argument, but everytime someone compare Jack N. to Tiger the argument for Tiger not being better is that he did not lose as many Majors as closely as Jack. The argument seems to go, sure Tiger has won more than Jack at this point in their careers (by alot), but Jack finished second so many times. Tommorrow what you will read in the papers is that Tiger had a chance to win, and failed on Sunday. The field came back, one guy sacked up, and Tiger lost a major he never really had any buisness winning. That's the real story, and it should be, and it also should not effect where he ranks all time. Every Jack N. 2nd felt just like this one, he had a shot and didn't win. It doesn't matter who the other golfers were, because if you are the best that ever played, by definition you are better than all of them. My point is simple, compare wins, not losses, and that is exactly the lesson we should have learned today.
