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


Tiger's new swing!

and maybe Sergio...

Ryan

Ian Poulter. Its true.

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.

Luke Donald or Adam Scott.

    • Day 314 - Putting some things together. Better grip/setup, fuller backswing, better finishing position. Filmed some swings, happy with the progress. 
    • Day 130: did a stack session. 
    • Day 206 (24 Nov 24)  - An easy session with the 54deg wedge and hard foam balls / one simple goal - distance control thru backswing length while not decelerating.  Had a playing partner comment they noticed me decelerating on a couple short wedge shots in last round.  Hit from distances from close to 40yds down to 20. 
    • Musgrove Mill hole #15 was converted to a par 3 after Hurricane Helene. Today, I had 145 from the tee which is a perfect 9-iron for me. I aimed just right of the hole and pulled it a few feet. Clanked off the stick down into the hole and ricocheted out of the hole 13’ away. Drained the putt for a birdie after repairing the hole which was damaged . Not sure if it would have counted as a HIO, but I was pretty excited!
    • Day 55 - 2024-11-24 Did five levels of Operation 36 on GSPro (different courses). 🙂 Was -4 from 200 yards (32) intentionally laying up on each hole (i.e. not hitting a 5I or something). Shot… 22, 24, 26 from 25, 50, and 100 yards. I forget my 150-yard score, but obviously it was < 36. Putting was odd… (and I did it with the wedge or a 7I or whatever was in my hand).
