With Rory lapping the field at the US Open, there are many saying the stage is his as Tiger fades away.
Tiger Woods dominated like nobody ever had for twelve years. He had World Ranking scores above 19 when nobody else had above 9. Since his fall from the top, several players have been in the position of #1. But none of them has had more than 9 points at any one time.
The sad fact is that there is no Number 1 player in the world right now. Nor is there a dominant player by any stretch of the imagination.
When someone exceeds 10 points in the World Ranking and nobody else has 9 or more, then you will have a number one. Until that happens, the void left by Tiger remains.
Congratulations Rory. You won the US Open. I am happy for you, and happy about your win. Keep it up and maybe you will get to be a true number 1, as opposed to precession of wannabe’s that followed in the wake of Tigers demise.
