Calling it crazy to base career narratives about a random three day stretch like we don’t do the same thing in theory with random four day stretches at the Majors…
Maybe they aren’t random stretches when everyone agrees they are the 5 most important golf events
Fair take here. Do still think it's crazy to build these narratives off a random three days in a crazy random format every two years, but the evidence that "they just care more" was about as glaring as it has ever been this week.
Would it be nice to see the U.S. actually find a way to replicate that? Sure. But I wouldn't hold your breath. It's obvious as a whole American players care far more about individual accolades like major championships, hence why Americans have won 26 out of the last 35 of them.
Not even trying to troll with that stat, by the way. Imploring everyone to just accept that's where the American priorities lie and trying to force them to change that fact for three days every two Falls is silly. And yes, they like getting paid for their work, too (so do Rahm and Rory, btw)
