Default Thrash Talk: Young Guns Gone Bad - July 25th, 2005

Well, for my Thrash Talk this week, I am going to be talking about some of the young guns that have underachieved since their arrival on the PGA Tour. The three I focused on were Charles Howell III, Justin Rose, and Aaron Baddeley. Each of these three golfers were highly touted to be the next big things in golf along with Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott. Here are a few sample questions to hold you over until Tuesday morning.

1. What do Sergio Garcia and Adam Scott possess that these other three dont?

2. What other golfers haven't quite lived up to their hype?

3. Will any of these three so-called "underachievers" break out and dominate in the future?

I think it's all in the attitude and a bit of skill. Garcia is naturally talented - anyone with his swing has to be. And Adam Scott has a pretty repeatable swing, even if he is gonna get "stuck" now and then like Tiger used to. Baddeley? Too busy being a party boy. Charles Howell III? I dunno. He should have everything he needs. Maybe he thinks too much? Rose? Why, he's British! Isn't that excuse enough!?

No. Though I still hope CHIII does. I think all three will have decent careers, but none of them will ever dominate.
