It is how it has always been. Somebody will play really well for a few months or a couple of years like FSR or Albin (or Jason Dufner in golf), but it takes some real staying power to put together high-quality play for decades. That's GOAT territory.

Can Filler or Gorst be dominant for decades? Maybe. Both have already waxed and waned. Jack always said Tiger had the ability to win the most majors, but he still had to deliver. In the end, Tiger did not.

The thing is all or most of those players in the original list were winning major titles in their early 20's (even earlier for some). I don't think they got significantly better as they aged. Just they were so far ahead of the pack, that even as they got older, few younger players have caught them.

I would say Carlo Biado is an exception. 2 of his 3 world championships came after age 40 and he won the US Open at 38.

Last post in a series: The fading-window players.

Last year, I said I wasn't sure if FSR would win another major. He still makes deep runs, but he doesn't seem to be able to get over the finish line.

There are a lot of players who fall into this category. The sun may be setting on them. They include:

Albin Ouschan
Max Lechner
Mario He
Jayson Shaw
Sanjin Pehlivanovic
Aleksa Pecelj

Of this group, Ouschan still has the talent, mental makeup and physical conditioning to win another major. He' needs to rediscover his passion for the game again, though, and it's no sure thing.

He was playing very well in the Euro Open but Moritz Neuhausen played his ass off and secured a comeback victory

My husband bought this case at a pawn shop 20 years ago for $125…and it had a McDermott M8-02 Blaze cue in it!!! He said it was worth the $$$ because it was all hand tooled/worked leather. It holds 2 butts and 4 shafts. It’s not for sale….it was Jim’s case (I have the McDermott tho!) and since he passed it’s very sentimental to me. Thanks for any help!

I believe this to be a Ron Thomas case. It is not signed.

THE ZIPPER ON THE POCKET DOES NOT WORK!!! Looks like an easy repair for a Tailor or luggage repair shop.

Has some bumps and bruises as pictured.

Sold

It's not felt, technically.
