Should have won more majors

[mizuno4life]

I agree with DL3, but Im going to say Freddy Couples, Jose Maria Olazabal, Monty, and maybe Lee Westwood even thou hes younger, times running out on him

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.
