Can think of a few worse.

Sure, he's not great tee to green being a hands and arms player, but Masters = Chipping and putting.

He hardly turns his torso. (typical English woodland\heathland golfer ;) ) .

Don't like his behaviour on the course but he's got heart and bottle and he'll be back.

There are plenty of guys throughout history who have won a major and then not really done much else. It's called getting hot.

Still trying to get mileage off hating Danny Willett because of what his brother said about American golf fans?

There are a lot of one time major championship winners.

Agreed - and why majors are totally overrated. (IMHO) .

[kmbean]

I'm at the US Open today. He warmed up on the far end of the range by himself. His body language said I'm miserable

I feel for danny.

 

But he should kick his bro in the noots.

The word worst should not be used when discussing Major champions

Who is Michael Campbell?

Who is Michael Campbell?

 

His 05 season automatically removes him from this discussion.

 

He had 3 top tens in majors that year, beat Tiger to win one.

 

8 Euro tour wins and a world matchplay title.

 

Plenty of major champs with worse resumes than his IMO.

I think that's why he gets my vote, and the fact he is totally irrelevant now says wonders.

[JunkerJorge]

Danny has not played well since the Masters (and having his first child) but the guy was top 10 in the world golf rankings and has won several times on euro tour. Guy hasn't even turned 30 yet. He's struggling but this thread is ridiculous.

[Noke]

Todd Hamilton?

[DivitsInTheGreen]

His game stinks right now. But it sure didn't last year in April. Right now though, if I was really on for a round he'd probably only beat me by 10-15. To keep it in perspective.

It's unfortunate that his brother brought so much negative press. Some people will hold those words against him for the rest of his career.

[Thrillhouse]

Todd Hamilton?

 

Legend in Japan though.

 

Micheel wins this debate because he hasn't won anywhere else ever. Willet has won several times in Europe, so while he's not great, at least he had a resume.

In music, a one hit wonder does not make the song any less awesome. Willett was freaking amazing.

Most of the names that will end up in this thread won because the guy that was supposed to win collapsed and they didn't

Yup

Last man standing gets the prize.

Who is Steve jones to block?

[King_Slender]

Unless I'm not remembering correctly, it's Willett without a doubt.

 

Guys like Hamilton, Micheel, Immelman, etc. all held the lead on Sunday and had to feel some of that Sunday pressure to keep the lead and not fall apart. At #10 on Sunday, I think Spieth had a 7 stroke lead and Willett was 3 groups ahead and just able to fire at pins to birdie 13 and 14 - made par on 15, birdied 16, and pared 17 and 18. He never had to make a real pressure shot, bu I won't discount a 67 on Sunday at Augusta (too much).

Shooting 67 on Sunday is not backing into a major win. He birdied 3 of the last 6 holes and won.

That's why the tourney is 72 holes long.

Yes it is.

He forced Jordan to dump 2 in the drink, legend.

Yeah, the song can be awesome, but we're talking about the performer here.

 

One hit/major does not an awesome musician/golfer make.
