Best player not to win a major - yet?

It wouldn't be a new day without a new thread from moi - Wish I could change my forum ID to threadstarter

But any old how...

Who, in your view, is the best player not to have won a Major yet? Only one per poster please, as there are quite a few candidates naturally. I've had a long ponder on this but ultimately...

I've never been a massive fan of Monty because of his bad temper when things haven't gone his way over the years, but for me with 8 his European Orders of Merit and 5 Runner-up finishes in Majors he's pretty hard to look past.

By saying YET, that would lead me to choose someone still with a chance of winning one.

For me its, Sergio Garcia

 

[guest100718]

Luke Donald, Lee Westwood, Sergio to name a few

Gregg Norman should have won more

 

[Deleted Member 1156]

Monty has won a major

 

[guest100718]

Monty has won a major

I am sure that what he thinks anyway.

 

[MendieGK]

Monty has won a major

So has Roger Chapman

 

[Pin-seeker]

Sergio

 

[JohnnyDee]

Monty has won a major

Ah well yes, on the Oldies Tour...

 

[Scotty Cameron]

Have to agree with your choice, in his heyday he was as good as anybody, problem was he didn't have the bottle to finish the job in the big games.
Also Sergio should have at least won one and not just because of the collapse on the 17th a couple of years ago, albeit not a major, he had his chance at the Open as well when Paddy won it after leading the field for three days.

Without doubt........Sergio Garcia

 

[Lord Tyrion]

Luke Donald - I think the chance has gone for Westwood and Garcia. Had Donald stuck with his old swing I think he would have won one by now but he has time to go back and put it right. If I was American I would probably say Rickie Fowler.

Remove the Yet from the question and I would say a toss up between Garcia and Montgomery.

 

[One Planer]

Sergio Garcia and Steve Stricker

 

[LanDog]

Right now at this moment, I'd go for Henrik Stenson, Sergio has bottled his chance far too many times, same as Westwood, Stenson has a better chance to win won before most others out there

I think anyway!

 

[MegaSteve]

Sergio... and, still has plenty of time to win one yet...

 

[Doon frae Troon]

David Thomas

yet......Sergio

 

[bladeplayer]

Jason Day ..

Him or Rickey Fowler to do so this year ..


Please tell me Jason day didnt already win 1 ha , i dont think so anyhow

 

[Swinger]

Another one for Steve Stricker here.

 

[Scotty Cameron]

Please tell me Jason day didnt already win 1 ha , i dont think so anyhow

he has been really close a couple of times…...

A good measure is how many top10s they have had in majors without crossing the line.

Sergio with 19 and Westwood on 17 are miles ahead of everyone, even Monty 'only' had 10.

Of the new crop of players I would say Ricky Fowler, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day are great players worthy of a major one day, hopefully they dont go the Sergio/Westwood route.
