European Tour Golfer of the Year

For Luke to win both order of merits and not win Golfer of the Year sounds stupid... Rory just played well for 4 days and bagged a major, a great achievement but not quite on the same level for me.
 
For me there is only one choice, Luke Donald, but it is nice that we have enough good golfers to have a debate on the subject


Chris
 
Luke Donald by a country mile:)

no1 for Driving accuracy (75.6%)
no1 for Stroke average (69.12)
no1 for greens in regulation (77.5%)
no1 for putts per GIR (1.694)
...and no1 in the money list obviously

He's no slouch either in driving, average 282.85 yds
 
It's European tour golfer of the year so winning the USA order of merit should not come into it. Luke has won 3 times Rory twice and Luke piped him to the order of merit but ask any Pro which they would rather have done and every one of them would say Rory's Major win by a record margin in the US open. Unless money and not Majors is the deciding factor.

............ in the US open plus he I think he is the first european to win it in a long time. Unless money and not Majors is the deciding factor.

do you mean the US Open here??? Im pretty sure G-Mac is European!! Not only European but from the same country as Rory
 
Thomas Bjorn, best comeback in years. A player I thought was washed up and a tad bitter before this season.


Only jessing Luke all the way. Rors won the US Open in commanding fashion however I think the way Schwartzel closed out the Masters was a greater achievement.

Thoughts?

Rory didn't win the US Open by a record margin
 
As I said on twitter with Mike Alvaro Quiros, the wayh he plays the game is just smashing and always has a smile on his face.

I dont doubt for a minute the achievements of the other two but there is something about Quiros I really like
