Young Guns

The young guns are on the up big time this year, Camilo almost winning the matchplay and then winning the Honda, AK winning at Houston and then remaining consistent and contending almost each and every week he plays (with a detatched ligament in his thumb), Dustin Johnson winning at Pebble again, Mahan with a come from behind win in Phoenix, Ishikawa wins a tournament on the Japanese tour after shooting a final round 58 (WOW!), Fowler in contention for a few tournaments this year already and looking promising, and now this from McIlroy today which was just incredible, i mean shooting 62 normally is unbelievable but to do it on the final day when in contention to win the golf tournament is just phenominal. The future of this game is looking very, very bright and this year is just going to be dominated by these youngsters in my opinion and i for one cannot wait!

Great day for avid golf fans. While these young guns probably won't bring in the mainstream or drive up prize purses like Tiger did/ still can, they certainly have provided a lot of excitement recently and a "young vs. old" dynamic the Tour hasn't seen for a decade. I'm sure the PGA is also thrilled with this because for years (among the average fan at least) it has basically been Tiger, Phil and "the field". Maybe some of these young guns can start leaving a bigger mark, keep growing youth golf and get in that elite group on top of the game that seems to find the front page of the leaderboard almost every time they tee it up. Looking at the rest of this year's majors though, I think the veterans will be back on top at St. Andrews and the PGA, but maybe a young gun will contend at Pebble.

Always good to see top young talent rise to the top, especially in droves like we've seen this year. The guys mentioned above have some major game, too.

Now if Sergio, Charles Howell, Adam Scott, Badds et al would just step it up....
