Well Jud and Byron were well known teammates back in their day and actually feared because those two were virtually unbeatable and even had a nickname for them which i cannot remember. Jud McSpaden was a great player in his own right but Byron no doubt was better than him. Im honestly not trying to change any record book or be a guy to argue differently for fun. Like i said i read the book and have great admiration for that season and Lord Byron. In fact he may be the greatest gentleman golf has ever seen but counting a 2 man team as part of a streak for an individual is a bit much even if they played alot like that back then. They still played the majority of tourneys at stroke play i believe. You know any number is cool by me i read the book and brought it up as a topic to chew on and we have done just that which is good stuff and i would change my opinion in a heartbeat if i really felt it was worthy of part of the streak. Still the stuff i have read do not change my mind simply because he did this with a teammate and we count this as a part of a individual streak. Like i said earlier if Tiger keeps it up and plays with Furyk in the World Cup(with the streak still ongoing) no way would i consider this a part of the streak.
