I won't come back with "there's got to be a first time." However, what is most annoying in no names winning is when that golfer does not offer a good story or some original story like John Daly Story, Jason Gore, or Sean O'Hair. Show me the "underdog movie character," not your Shaun Micheel, Craig Perks, Todd Hamilton, especially if they never win again or win again 12 years later. But with over 50 events a year, you cannot expect the top 15 golfers to win every week. So the 80-20 rule applies: 20% of world class golfers would win 80% of the time and 80% of the first 150 golfers on tour will win only 20% of the time (and even less). Laws of Statistics prevail.
