Yeah, his brain turned to mush after the news hit, about what an awful person he was. It really was too bad. He was great for the sport.
Meh, all that was going down from 09 to 11. He was mentally mumped around that time, I agree. But people forget he came back and although he didn't win a major, was pretty damn good in 2012 and 13. Golfer of the year in 2013.
I'd say the injuries/surgeries at the start of 2014 are what has really kept him from continuing to be at/returning to the top at this point.
Brainfucked 10/11, good 12/13, injured 14/15/16,
best golfer in the world in 17.
