Fans Reacting to a tweet comparing Jon Rahm to Tiger Woods

While reacting to an opinionated tweet by Flushing It, one twitter account holder, Greg Chalmers mockingly wrote, “I don’t even have to check with my peers,there is nothing like the feeling of “the Greggy” stalking you from somewhere around 60th place on the final day#lookout59th.” Another Twitter account named John Maginnes, tweeted, “Tiger only had 30 more wins than Rahm by the age of 28… @TigerWoods comparisons don’t fit the conversation these days… Maybe someday … But not today.”

Another fan of Tiger Woods tweeted, “Nice idea — and I understand why people want to compare. But it’s not even remotely close. Tiger was / is the needle.” Another account questioning the credibility of the statement commented, “How do you know this is true?” A fan of Jon Rahm tweeted, “There must be a few guys in the conversation. Anyone with double-figure wins and a major, for instance. Scottie being on the leaderboard is weird. He just sort of laughs and giggles his way to the top. Rahm walks around like a sniper.” Another twitter account tweeted, “On Sunday Rahm had a lot of luck as well as a lot of presence. Luck does not seem to be evenly distributed. Player may have summed it up, however, “the more practice the luckier I got”
