There are a lot of great players out there with no majors, but who do think is most likely to get the proverbial monkey off their back in 2012.

In my mind the answer has to be Luke Donald, just super consistent and composed. I think he is going to get one of the big ones next year

Donald is certainly the best player in the world right now and should challenge for his first major at Augusta like he did this year, but the way the golf landscape is currently it will in all likelihood end up being someone nobody will even think of mentioning in this thread.

I'll go with Bo Van Pelt

Luke Donald is certainly a legitimate pick.

Jeez, this is a tough one. So many quality players to choose from.

Besides Luke Donald (who finished T4 at the Masters this year), I'm going to also vote for Jason Day. In six career major starts he's gone, in this order, T60, T10, T2, 2nd, T30, MC. Not too bad.

I also feel like it's only a matter of time for Nick Watney, even though he finished 46th at the 2011 Masters. He finished 7th there in 2010 and had a nice showing at the PGA earlier this year (T12).

I'm not completely confident these guys (Day and Watney) know how to patch their swings up quickly like some of their peers can when they start hitting bad shots, but when they're on, they're really on.

And I also feel like I have to throw Webb Simpson's name in the hat. Besides that awful missed putt at the McGladrey, he's, well...so hot right now. He was insanely close to netting five wins this year (two wins, three second places(two playoff losses and one loss where his ball moved as he addressed it with his putter)). It'll be interesting to see if it carries over to 2012.

    • To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
