I'm really surprised Tom Kite and Ben Crenshaw don't have more than they do.

Vijay not having a U.S. Open surprises me. I figured that, with his strength, the heavy rough would bother him less than it bothers others.

Plenty of people have said Tom Watson and Arnold Palmer, and I agree.

But you know what group of people just hasn't won majors in the past 40 years? Left handed people. I don't know what fraction of the top players are left handed, but it seems to me that they'd have more than just Bob Charles on the list of left-handed players who have won majors. Or has a left-hander won playing right-handed, the way two right-handers have won playing left-handed?

Um, Mickelson won 3 majors left handed, Wier won 1. Left handed golf clubs hardly existed 40 years ago, and even now, there is a much smaller selection available to the left handed player.

I think Shindig was referring to left-handers that played right handed. Mickelson, as you know, is a right-hander who plays from the left side. Didn't know that about Weir.

Anyway, to get back to Shindig's question, I could be wrong but I seem to recall that Johnny Miller and Curtis Strange are lefties who played right handed. There may have been others. He hasn't won yet, but Sergio is also left handed, I think.

Yes, this is what I meant. Sorry for any confusion.
