just stole this question from the GC, and found it interesting. the poll was in favor of mcdowell by a pretty good margin. but louis really grew on me this weekend and i look to see him get more serious about his golf. he's proven he can hit the shots, and i think he's got enough talent to be top 10. so i'm going with oostie.

Since Lee Janzen isn't an option, I'll go with McDowell. He seems a lot less lke a "flash in the pan".

Mizuno MP600 driver, Cleveland '09 Launcher 3-wood, Callaway FTiz 18 degree hybrid, Cleveland TA1 3-9, Scratch SS8620 47, 53, 58, Cleveland Classic 2 mid-mallet, Bridgestone B330S, Sun Mountain four5.


How about 'both the above'?

They're both good, have both shown they can stand up and handle pressure and both young enough to do a lot more (although G-Mac does wear a cardigan, which is v old-fashioned!)

I don't think either of them will win another major but if I had to pick it would be Oosthiezen.

In my bag:

Driver: Titleist TSi3 | 15º 3-Wood: Ping G410 | 17º 2-Hybrid: Ping G410 | 19º 3-Iron: TaylorMade GAPR Lo |4-PW Irons: Nike VR Pro Combo | 54º SW, 60º LW: Titleist Vokey SM8 | Putter: Odyssey Toulon Las Vegas H7

Peter Alliss mentioned some stat about margin of victory favoring Oosthuizen. Apparently, 14 players have previously won a major by seven strokes or more and, of those, 12 subsequently went on to win at least one more major.

Stretch.

I prefer GMac, I think he'll win again in the future.

Im going with McDowell. He seems like his game is well suited to tough conditions. Im not discounting Oosthiezen's romp at the open, but he caught some favorable breaks with the weather, especially during round 2.
THE WEAPONS CACHE..

Titleist 909 D2 9.5 Degree Driver| Titleist 906f4 13.5 degree 3-Wood | Titleist 909 17 & 21 degree hybrid | Titleist AP2 irons
Titleist Vokey Wedges - 52 & 58 | Scotty Cameron Studio Select Newport 2 Putter | ProV1 Ball

I'll pick Louis for another reason -- his driving game and distance. This makes him a contender at the PGA and masters every year and the british when it is at st. andrews and a few others.

If either of them wins another, it would likely be the PGA and i think louie has more game at those set ups.

What's in the bag:

Driver: Adams 9064LS (project RIP Shaft) 9.5 degree
3 Wood: Titleist 909R 14.5 degree
Hybrid 3-iron: 19 degree Tour Professional (bent to 18 degrees)Hybrid 4-iron: 21 degree Tour ProfessionalIrons: Tour X-20 5-PW Project X 6.0 shaftsGap Wedge: Mizuno MP10 52.08 Sand Wedge: Mizuno MP10 58.10 Lob Wedge: Nike 62.06


I don't think either of them will win another major but if I had to pick it would be Oosthiezen.

+1, i think they both had some good breaks throughout the tournament but oosthiezen dominated.

What I Play:
Titleist 910 D3 9.5* Diamana 'ahina X-stiff  | Titleist 909f2 13.5* x-stiff | Taylormade Rescue 19* steel shaft stiff |
Titleist ZB 3-PW S300 | Titleist BV SM 52-08 58-12  | 34" Scotty Cameron California Del Mar | Penta TP


I don't think either of them will win another major
