Well golfing fans what do you think?
He came close at the masters but his putting let him down from about 5/6 footers.
And as far as the oipen went i didnt hear very much of him

Freddy will win another Major, if he plays on the Champions Tour in the future. As for the PGA, somehow I can not see that happening. His putting is far too streaky to win a Major. Fast slick greens do him in now. Too bad, tee to green he has plenty of game. It's the flatstick that lets him down.
Another factor is his back. Can he stay healthy enough to continue to play at a high level? I sure hope so, I enjoy watching him play. I remember watching him win The Masters. His swing is so smooth, like peanut butter!

His swing is beautiful silky smooth and flows like water...and yes his back is his problem but as he has said doing 32 holes as he did on the final day of the masters is doing him good because its getting him back to form but yes his putting on fast greens is something he could do with practising

Fred has without doubt one of the most pleasureable golf swings to watch. I have always been facinated by his effortless power.

I think his biggest concern will be the health factor, I would love to see him challenging again.

Well hopefully he can manage to muster at least one win next year that will do him the world of good.

Definitely my favorite golfer. The most beautiful tempo I have ever seen, along with Payne Stewart

I like Fred a lot too. But unless he pulls a Greg Norman (contending at 53) without pulling a Greg Norman (choking it away), he won't be winning anymore majors.

As i said before.
Fred suffers with the yips.
After watching him in old tapes i have i notcied that he holes good 15 footers, but when it comes to the 4/5 footers he struggles.
Such a shame for someone as good a ball striker as him.
In my opinion one of the best strikers on tour.
But as they say...
Drive for show, putt for dough...
