...to win a Major?

I dunno, I was surprised to see that only three guys other than Tiger Woods have won a major in the last 20 attempts.

But seriously, who'll be the next US player, aside from Woods, with the A-game to win a major?
Zach Johnson? Jim Furyk? Sean O'Hair? Steve Stricker? Anthony Kim? Nick Watney? A.N. Other?

Johnson is up next I think. Not just because he won last this weekend though, he really is at the top of his game, he's playing extremely well.

In the Ogio Kingpin bag:

Titleist 913 D2 9.5* w/ UST Mamiya ATTAS 3 80 w/ Harrison Shotmaker & Billy Bobs afternarket Hosel Adaptor (get this if you don't have it for your 913)
Wilson Staff Ci-11 4-GW (4I is out of the bag for a hybrid, PW and up were replaced by Edel Wedges)
TaylorMade RBZ 5 & 3 Fairway Woods

Cobra Baffler T-Rail 3 & 4 Hybrids

Edel Forged 48, 52, 56, 60, and 64* wedges (different wedges for different courses)

I think it was pretty clear he meant 3 Americans in the last 20 (not named Tiger Woods).

And he didn't say anything about Tiger's total. Tiger's played in over 40 majors at this point.

Well Phil obviously.

Also I am not suprised if Sean O'Hair, Steve Stricker, or ZJ win anytime they tee it up.

I think next tier is Nick Watney and AK.

2 for me.

Boo or Ben Curtis...........watch out for either 1 at Bethpage in the Open

Ben Curtis or Anthony Kim for me.

A quote from Kris
...is that college bball really isn't "lower tier". The better teams have their rosters filled with guys who could play in the NBA. hell, guys used to come straight from high school to the NBA. I really don't think there's much of a difference skill-wise between the two.

try and read the post properly first mate!

to answer the question i really think that if he can somehow get his game together then the next american to win a major will be AK! i just think he has the complete game when he is on!

Not disagreeing with anyone here...I agree that Z. Johnson, Perry, AK and O'Hair have good shots given that they play to their potential. A name I'm adding to that list, given I don't know much about him, Dustin Johnson. Guy can golf his ball. He's in the Top 10 of the FedEx Cup right now for whatever that's worth, as well.

I only left out Phil Mickelson cos of the missus. Can't see him being back before the PGA Championship and even then, can you see him winning another Major again?

So, also, what about guys like Chad Campbell, Hunter Mahan, Stewart Cink, Justin Leonard : all members of the Ryder Cup team, all capable of winning a Major...

i think its gonna be Kenny Perry. he is DETERMINED to win a major and he usually accomplishes his goals

I'm going to disagree with you there. He may be determined, but I'm sure there are many guys determined to win a major, probably all of them. He had his shot at the Masters, not sure if he will ever get that close again.

But I like the guy, so I hope I'm wrong.

...which may or may not involve 'gamesmanship'.

Anyway, if he's so determined to win a Major, you'd think he'd have played in a lot more than he has done. I think that this year's Masters choke will haunt him for as long as Carnoustie '07 has done (and probably still is doing) to Sergio Garcia.

Eh? Usually accomplishes his goals?

Couldn't be bothered to tee it up in the Open because his "goal" for the season was to make the Ryder Cup team?

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

Jim Furyk, but it won't be until the 2010 US Open at Pebble Beach. Not a huge golf course, so length isn't as big of a necessity as it was at Torrey Pines, and will be at Bethpage.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By DaHolla ·

      Day 313 - I played 18 today. First and last holes were ugly, but I actually played pretty well. Driver was great, irons were alright, and the short game was better than average.

      Day 205 (23 Nov 24) - Worked with the alignment rod and 7i  in reference to ball position in relation to lead foot on full iron shots, noticed an increase in thinned shots last couple of rounds - better contact with the balls (hard foam) during the drill/swing rehearsals.

      Which Irons?

      By iacas ·

      Have you gone to a fitting? A good fitting will not only give you a clubhead but a shaft, etc. that will suit you.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      It's not like the Nike Vapor Pro are exactly a highly sought set of irons.

      Irons Too Nice to Use

      By Typhoon92 ·

      Last night I was putting my Nike Vapor Pro Irons back in my bag.  I had my sons i500’s in there the last couple months after we all went to Top Golf .  I picked up the Nike’s this past spring and they are like new.  I feel guilty using them… I have other irons that aren’t valuable that I could use instead.
