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

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.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Brendan Sorsby Sports Betting

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?
