At this point you can say with certainty that Lee Westwood has to be the best player never won big as he is currently the world number one, and I can not think of any other world number ones who have not won a major. Since he has just notched up number one spot and he was still in my thirties I have high hopes that it will perform the assessment, but we say that about many other pretenders to the throne.
Two great golfers who come to mind are Adam Scott and Sergio Garcia and they really should have got at least one so far. Scott is not even close and I canâ? T even recall the main conflict is unlikely that someone with such a good game and world tournament winner. Garcia got closer and when you play at Carnoustie had a dream of all golfers need to win a pair of open but his putt lipped out and he was never going to beat Harrington in the playoff.
In a way, Colin Montgomerie should have a title such as a European number one for seven consecutive years and came very close to winning quite a few occasions, but in many ways Colin won his major with such great performances in the Ryder Cup, and when the captain team to victory earlier this year, you felt that all the demons that he May have to win the main are pushed to the back of his mind.
Paul Casey, Luke Donald and Ian Poulter could lay claim to the title, but have not quite reached the top gear even though they all extremely talented golfers were not close enough but should be taken into account, but I do not feel that the current crop of European golfers have several directions at them and hopefully sooner than later.
For many years the title has always gone Tom Kite, and got the monkey from the back when he was in his forties, and for many years the ITA? Is it hard to believe that Phil Mickelson could not cross the border, but it is now well behind him with the larger Hatful.
It's an interesting discussion and something that the vast majority of golfers would love to be considered for, but I bet those who are in the race certainly don? T such that in the list.
