[QUOTE="4shotB, post: 1001197, member: 844"] I admitted to not being a huge baseball fan but played it as a young man. In golf the phrase "rub of the green" applies to the random odd things that can happen like a perfect approach shot that should have been close to the cup but instead hits the flagstick and bounces into a hazard (happened to Tom Lehman iirc as he was in contention on the last few hole of a major years ago). However it is widely assumed in golf that luck evens out over time and that Woods or Nicklaus were not just "luckier" than their peers. IIRC, in the modern era, the guy at Vandy has won at least two MNC's under the current format. Is he lucky or are there other answers at play? I am a bit surprised that people with our training believe so readily in "luck" as a valid root cause for anything, although I am aware that not everyone here has an engineering background. [/QUOTE]
