What separates Jack and Tiger from the rest is that uncommon desire, passion if you will, to be the absolute best. Both never, never come into the final stretch of a tournament, where they might not have the lead, and consider playing for 2nd or 3rd place. Both want to win, will give it their all on each shot, on each hole believing that they can win the tournament. They always play for the win.
Not many have that mindset and that is what separates Jack and Tiger from the rest.
I bet Jack is pretty happy to have 18 majors, but I bet he is even more [censored]ed off about the fact that he finished 2nd place in the majors a total of 19 times. That is really remarkable, 19 times a second place finish, but I would bet Pete Rose $50 he feels that he could have, or maybe should have, won the majority of those as well.
