He has no one to blame but himself. Had the world of golf by the tail but he couldn't stop chasing tail. He's done---he'll never catch Jack's major record and he knows it; he just can't accept it.

My guess, is that he wants to get one more PGA tour win so he can own that record by himself at 83 but I really doubt that happens either

His tail chasing and the fall-out from it definitely put a dent in his performance on the course for a bit, but he did make a comeback from that to win again...including another major. His struggles now have everything to do with his bad leg injury and not being able to play enough tournament golf to get his game in order. I don’t doubt that he'd be competitive (not necessarily win, but playing well) if he could use a cart, but he refuses to do it. Making the cut at The Masters showed that he's still got the talent.

July 21, 1873
Jesse James and his notorious gang of outlaws staged the world's first robbery of a moving train the evening of July 21, 1873, a mile and a half west of Adair, Iowa.

Early in July the gang had learned that $75,000 in gold from the Cheyenne region was to come through Adair on the recently build main line of the Chicago, Rock Island, & Pacific Railroad.

When the train came along, the rail, which had been sabotaged by the gang, was jerked out of place and the engine plunged into the ditch and toppled over on its side. Engineer John Rafferty of Des Moines was killed, the fireman, Dennis Foley, died of his injuries and several passengers were injured.

Two members of the gang, believed to have been Jesse and Frank James, climbed into the express car and forced John Burgess, the guard, to open the safe. In it they found only $2,000 in currency--the gold shipment had been delayed. They collected only about $3,000, including the currency and loot taken from the passengers, in the world's first robbery of a moving train.
