I'll have a Thrash Talk published on this soon, but I wanted to open it up for discussion here at the forum.  Rickie Fowler is the obvious choice here, but who else will win their first PGA Tour event in 2011?  Let the discussion begin.

I've given up on Colin Montgomerie and KJ Choi (unless they won when I wasn't watching), so I'll go with the two Englishmen now. You know who I mean.

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.

K.J. Choi has won 7 PGA Tour events, so he is good to go.  I finally gave up on Montgomerie a few years ago, although I would have liked to see him win a major.

As soon as posted that I thought Choi was on the "hasn't won a major" (akin to Red Buttons' "never had a dinner") and not the "winless on the PGA Tour" list. Should have gone with my gut.

Wouldn't it be funny if Monty qualified for, then won a Major, as his only win in the US? Or what if he wins the Canadian Open - you know, "The Open".

Tommy Gainey.  Guy with black glove won (JB Holmes).  Now a guy with two gloves wins.  :-)

I think Jeff Overton would be a pretty solid pick. Came really close last year a few times, i think 2011 will be his break out year.

Well, he's halfway there, but a long way to go. I like seeing players with less orthodox swings on top of the leaderboard.

And did CBS do a slow motion analysis of Gainey's swing? I was half watching, so I may have missed it. But if they didn't, hey, thanks for showing us the millionth slow motion of Phil Mickelson's swing. Thanks for the variety and depth of your broadcasting.

Maybe Schwartzel, the guy is very good. First year in the US, maybe he doesn't play too many tournaments and needs to get acclimatised. The overseas guys seem to play better when they get a house and fully commit.

Since you went with two of your own, I will go with one of my countrymen, Marc Leishman, awesome game, designed for the US.

They did-but you've got a valid point about Mickelson (and I really like watching Phil).  Would be neat if they slow-motioned as many swings in the field as possible.  I don't need another shot of the blimp or a short putt.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Scooted over to the range today in the rain to see how it goes when I try to hit one. The rehearsals I think look reasonable, but then get worse when I try to hit the ball. I think it’s better than it was but still a ways to go. Including the rehearsals in these two videos. One dtl and one fo. I still don’t understand what I need to do on the way down to stop that fugly shoving outside of the hands. Seems unlikely that will just disappear when I get the backswing position right. I have a feeling that lack of understanding of the next step might be holding me back some.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      Of course, injuries suck, but that's no excuse. jack was competitive from 1962-1984 or so. 1979 wasn't very good sure (first winless season) but every other season during that timeline he was in the top 16 in the money list. That is a crazy long time. And notice I didn't even include 1986 because he was "only" 34th in the money list that year and 43rd the year prior.  Like you said yourself Tiger was injured what felt like more often than not post 2009. When he was healthy enough to play a full season he did really well (2012-2013, and 2018-2019).  I like Tiger too but you are seriously downplaying what Nicklaus did. Nicklaus was not normal, he is a crazy outlier just like Tiger.  The funny thing is Jack played a reduced schedule compared to his peers and yet he still played way more than Tiger up to his final win. I got him at 477 excluding amateur starts up to 1986 while Tiger is 364 if we exclude his am starts, 345 up to his last win at the Zozo. Just pointing that out because you said he only played a handful of events in those later years.
