In light of his recent performance at the Open I'm starting to wonder when this guy will win a major. He seems to have the talent but when will the mind come?

2-5 Years
5-10 Years
Never

Please remember this question being asked about Phil not long ago. El Nino still has possibly the most productive years of golf coming in front of him now. There is no way someone of his talent does not win a major. Of course, Colin Montgomery probably disagrees......

It's going to come down to putting for Sergio, every other aspect of his game is solid enough for him to win a major. Putting can be very streaky, I just don't think he's pulled it all together on the greens at a major. He will though, he is very young and has plenty of time yet.

I think he putts fine... except when his head gets in the way. And that's where his mental game shows up.

He almost always seems to hit the ball pretty well, but every time he gets near the lead his putter gets balky. That's more a mental thing than a putter thing. You don't shoot a front-nine 29 in a major with a bad putting stroke (granted, the eagle helped!).

But as soon as he got near the lead, his mind got in the way of his putting stroke.

I voted "never." I still do think he'll win one, but since he's 26 and the poll only went to the age of 36... He's played 33 majors. Phil was only 0-for-39 and Phil's problem was never mental, it was just his approach to the game (conservative vs. aggressive).

Sergio is clearly the best player never to have won a major... of those who still have a chance to do it.

Next year. Simple as that.

You can sticky this topic or do whatever you want, but remember you heard it here first. Sergio will silence the demons and win a major next season. He has the tools to win any of the four.

If he would have been grouped with anyone but Tiger this past Sunday, he may have won the Claret Jug. Other than his Tiger-phobia, I believe Sergio will be ok in future majors.

Reminds me of something else I read recently...

Stuart Appleby has finished runner-up in a British Open before (2002 to Ernie Els), and he is long overdue to win a major championship. Appleby will continue the Aussie success on the PGA Tour in 2006 by picking up his first-career major championship. The winning score will be 282 (-6).

Both missed the cut. Poulter at +7 and Appleby at only +2 (unlikely he'd have shot a pair of 62s on the weekends to tie Tiger).

I'm just raggin' on ya man. We're all pretty bad at predicting things, but then again, we're not all so bold about it. $500 Sergio doesn't win a major by the end of 2007?

Ian Puolter is a good player, but it seems to me that in the majors when he breaks out the flashy threads he seems to lose focus on the game at hand.

Like his T12 at the U.S. Open this year?

Poulter does pretty well in the big events... and is pretty tough in the Ryder Cup, too.

I voted Never. Until he gets that thing between his ears straightened out its not going to happen (unless Tiger retires in the next ten years ).

I think he is trying to make himself into a Jim Furyk style putter when most of what he does is better suited to a style like Jay Haas, Haase? Whoever works with Jay is who he should go see. If you are not using a style that comes naturally or is at least comfortable, maintaining confidence in the crunch is much more difficult I believe.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
