Golf Special Report: They may not have a major for now, but they’re getting there (Part 2)
Adam Derek Scott:
Then there’s the Australian who knows what it’s like to be in the top 5 world rankings and still needs to grab a major.
The 30-year-old-golfer has a total of 19 professional wins and ended the 2006 PGA Championship with his third place best finish. The golfer faced a huge sink in ranking previously but after working on his swinging techniques, he climbed back to a higher order of the WGR with 7 PGA Tour victories and European Tour victories in the records.
Ian James Poulter:
Ignoring the funny on-the-course attire this 34-year-old wears, the man with 13 professional wins still has the ability to win a major.
‘Poults’ came second at the 2008 Open Championship and grabbed a tied ninth place at the 2006 PGA Championship. Poulter is highly famous for his high level strokes and with a New Year advancing, the "walk the walk" maxim might just prove true for this 30-year-old.
Dustin Hunter Johnson:
This guy has had a good 2010.
With the 2010 US Open entering its final round, Justin thought he had his first major but an unfortunate final round changed the whole scenario. Where he looked like a victor in one round, a fallen king prodigy awaited him at the last. Nonetheless, the 26-year-old golfer showed just how much potential he has on the fields and there is no doubt that he might be displaying the same techniques this next year around too.
The golfer holds 4 PGA Tour victories and 6 professional wins in total.
Paul Alexander Casey:
His best performance has been at the 2010 Open Championship Major where he ended tied at the third place.
Exactly like Johnson, the 2000 turned professional has been very close to victory but unfortunately, St Andrews didn’t prove to be so lucky for the 33-year-old golfer and handed him a third place on its leader boards.
Also from the consistent cult, Casey has grabbed the top ten 11 times and has missed a total of only 3 cuts.
Hunter Mahan:
Matching Casey’s energy, Mahan’s friends has already labelled him as a potential major winner.
As for his past performances, the 28-year-old golfer has had a special love-hate relationship with the number 6. He ended The 2007 Open championship at a tied 6th place, The 2006 US Open on T6 as well and The PGA Championship on T 16. As for this year, the golfer dropped two places rather than improving and finished the 2010 Masters Tournament in T8.
Matthew Gregory Kuchar:
He won the 2010 PGA Tour, became the leading money winner for 2010, held the Vardon Trophy high in the air and received the 2010 Byron Nelson Award but when it came to Majors, he got nothing.
The 32-year-old golfer had a year what can be called as fantastic. He won the Barclays Championship in the month of August, scored the lowest average on the PGA tour managed to appear in all four majors in 2010 and thus finished at number 13 in the world golf rankings.
