Craig Perks, won Players with an improbable finish then ...  struggled?  Retired after only making one cut during 2006-2007 at the Zurich Classic where he finished 71st.

I always thought Rich Beem was in the one win category, but he has two others besides his major, just like Ben Curtis, Shaun Micheel only has one win, but all three of these guys have made close to $10M each in career earnings, and Jason Dufner, who has not won yet, has $8M.

Right. That's why I didn't put Ben Curtis in the one-hit wonder category, cuz he validated his 2003 British win by winning on the tour. Plus he's a fellow Kent State Golden Flash. So he rocks.

A few others:

Tony Manero

Sam Parks

Charl Schwartzel (win something else, Chuck)

Louis Oosthuizen (ditto)

...and has Lucas Glover won anything since the 2009 US Open?

Lucas has 3 tour wins.  He had a 2-year slump after his open win, but he won last year.

The PGA was Yang's second win.  He hasn't won on the PGA Tour since, but he's been in contention a few times.

Why Ben Curtis, he was a multiple winner on Tour 3 years after his Open title?

Along those same lines, Trevor Immelman. He won a few times before his Masters (once on the PGA Tour, three times on the Euro Tour), but hasn't won since.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      I voted for all four dates

      #1. I rather lower my score by 3 instead of making an eagle... but a hole in one is a hole in one and I'm still didn't make one.

      Option one. Would like an ace even if it’s a worm burner. Have witnessed a couple of aces so would like to be on the other end.

      2025 TST Outing Preliminary Blabber

      By Hardspoon ·

      OK - I think we should narrow down a weekend, and start there.  We're going to try to do this in June. I've created a Doodle poll where everyone can vote for the options that work for them.  Please include your username so I can track/post results. Doodle Doodle is the simplest way to schedule meetings with clients, colleagues, or friends. Find the best time for one-to-ones and team meetings with our user-friendly calendar tool. Get started today! (I only put in the Saturday dates, but assume the outing would include Friday - Sunday). Once we select a date that works for the most people, I'll start to line up courses and schedule and go from there.
