He will soon turn 43 years old and hasn't won a major before, but this guy is one of the best players in the world now. He is a good ball striker, putts and scrambles well. Sometimes he seemed to put too much pressures on himself on the final few holes at times last season or he could have won a couple more times, but he seemed to improve on it a bit at the end of last season. He had a great year last season, but wasn't really contending in the majors. What do you all think of his chances to win a major this season. I like his chance, especially if Tiger doesn't return by the Masters this season.

I don't think he will, though I would love to see him win one. I don't think this year's courses will set up well for his game. Perhaps his best chance will be at Pebble Beach for the US Open. I don't like his chances at Augusta, St. Andrews or Whistling Straits.

Substitute his name for that of 100 other players who will have just as good a chance and whose records indicate that they are "due". You may as well be asking what the lottery numbers are going to be in a year's time.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I voted no. As shaky as he can be at times down the stretch I'm not sold on his winning the LA Open this year yet... Though a five-shot lead with 22 holes to play is a fairly big help.

He's got the game to win one for sure, his head is usually the biggest barrier for winning major championships. He hasn't shown more confidence the last couple of months I've seen him, so I don't think he'll win one, but I sure hope he does. Stricker is one of my favourite players on the PGA Tour.

If he had the mental strength of Tiger, he'd be winning a lot more.

Not sure on this one. He has the ability as do many others. I love his swing. It is simple and consistant. I hope he wins one but it is really hard to say.

He will. I think he is becoming more confident with the lead. He closed out two tournaments well last year after the breakthrough at Colonial. He'll need that bit of luck to be on his side during one of the majors. I'll be rooting for him for sure.

If Stricker keeps hitting his irons well and keeps putting well, he has a very good chance of winning a major this year. When Stricker's putter gets hot, he is almost unbeatable.

Good on him to win today, though he was leading with 6 shots and won with two. The more he wins on the regular events, the better he will be prepared for the big ones.

Watching him play late last year and just recently I think he has a very good chance to win one this year, even if Tiger manages to jump back into the fray. It looks like he has made his shortened swing very consistent, which is amazing considering he was playing so bad a few years back.

2011 Goals:
* Improve club-head speed to 90 mph with the driver
* Ensure increased speed does not compromise accuracy
* Prevent overextending on the back-swing (left-arm is bending too much at the top)
* Relax arms initially at address ( too tense)* Play more full rounds (failed from 2010)

With his steady game and calm demeanor, i cant see why Stricker shouldnt be considered a favorite to win a major or two this season. He gets quick sometimes and gets the hooks, but i dont see it as a huge issue with his putting and short game.

I'd say he has about a 15-25% chance of winning one, so I voted no. I think he WILL win one, but not sure when. There are at least 10-15 players I think must eventually win one, and another 5 who I think will win more... so it's just a matter of timing.

I think he is has a really good chance to win a major this year. He is playing with confidence and really there is no one putting better than Strick right now. I give him the PGA or at least perhaps the Players (5th Major IMO; Best field out of any of them).

      @boogielicious and I are definitely in for the Stay & Play and will need the extra night's stay on Friday. I don't know what the plans are for our group on Friday but even if we don't make it for dinner with the rest of the Friday arrivals, I'll be more than happy to meet up somewhere for a beer or something.

      Strategy on Neshanic Valley Ridge #2

      By p1n9183 ·

      Taking your dispersion and distance in consideration I analyzed the 4 posible ways to play the hole, or at least the ones that were listed here. I took the brown grass on the left as fescue were you need to punch out sideways to the fairway and rigth of the car path to be fescue too.  Driver "going for the green"  You have to aim more rigth, to the bunker in order to center your shotzone in between the fescue.  Wood of 240 over the bunkers I already like this one more for you. More room to land between the fescue. Balls in the fescue 11% down from 30% with driver. Improve of score from 4.55 to 4.40. 4 iron 210 yards besides the bunkers.    Also a wide area and your shot zone is better than previous ones. This makes almost the fescue dissapear. You really need to hit a bad one (sometimes shit happens). Because of that and only having 120 yards in this is the best choice so far. Down to 4.32 from 4.40. Finally the 6 Iron 180 yards to avoid all trouble.    Wide area an narrow dispersion for almost been in the fairway all the time. Similar than the previous one but 25 yards farther for the hole to avoid been in the bunkers. Average remains the same, 4.33 to 4.32.  Conclusion is easy. Either your 4iron or 6 iron of the tee are equaly good for you. Glad that you made par!

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 ·

      Wish I could have spent 5 minutes in the middle of the morning round to hit some balls at the range. Just did much more of right side through with keeping the shoulders feeling level (not dipping), and I was flushing them. Lol. Maybe too much focus on hands stuff while playing.
