I would say that a result like 5th at Valspar Championship is pretty good and he is 163rd on the World Ranking. No doubt that his very best is some time ago (the latest of his 20 best results (points-wise on the WR) was back in 2012. But it's afterall easier to win the Olympics than win at the PGA Tour.

Wumo 2,796 Posted December 25, 2018 #77 Share Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) To motivate his players, the captain of the European Ryder Cup team, Thomas Bjorn, had promised them that he would get a tattoo if they beat USA. It ended with a Ryder cup victory for Team Europe, and here about three months later, Bjorn has kept his promise. He must really regret he made this promise.
