Might haves, Would haves

Life and golf are full of them....

If Bobby Nichols didn't have such a hot putter at the 1964 PGA Championship, Arnold Palmer might have gotten a career grand slam.
If John Mahaffey at the 1978 PGA had missed that playoff putt in sudden death, Tom Watson might have gotten a career grand slam.
If Lee Trevino had shot a 72 instead of an 81 in the third round of the 1989 Masters, he would have gotten a career grand slam
If Tiger Woods hadn't crashed his car he might have....
If Payne Stewart hadn't died in a plane crash he might have....
If Tony Lema hadn't died in a plane crash he might have....
If inclement weather had caused an abandonment to the third round the competition would have reverted to a 36 hole event and Matt Kuchar would have been declared the winner

If I didn't call it quits after Kuchar, this list might have gone on forever.

That last one with Kuchar in it, was an edit[1] from last year to Dustin Johnson's article that got removed.[2]

So the bit in the article 'If McIlroy had won, he would have moved from second to first in the Official World Golf Ranking.' that's a would have too. Same applies to McIlroy as it does to Johnson and Kuchar....William 22:16, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is not WP:CRYSTALBALL, it is WP:VERIFY. It is verifyable, it is not an editor's own research or analysis. It is relevant to the discussion the that tournament. Tewapack (talk) 22:38, 21 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
