I was trying to google it but couldnt turn up anything.  What pro's play with a slightly closed / closed stance at address?

Also, what is your natural stance?

Mine is left foot (very slightly open a little) and right foot back

So essentially square / slightly closed

Jesper Parnevik might be at the top of the list with a bullet. Guy's feet are 20 degrees right of his target.

GMac's stance will vary...but, yes, he does have a shut stance pretty often. He plays with such a dramatically shut face, that it's necessary. I watch GMac a lot because we have a similar body type and swing (which, hilariously, was first pointed out by my non-golfing WIFE...and she was quite right).

Are you guessing just because they play a draw?

Agreed.  During the Farmers Open he ended up a few feet from the pin on the downhill par 3, but his feet were at least 50 yards right of target.

Whats his ballflight?  Is he pullling it or drawing it?  Or pulling it and then drawing in the last few yards?  Thats pretty far right.

A big pull with a teeny draw at the end. Ball flight is low, but duh. ;-)
