Manassero or Cantlay

[playa]

Matteo sure has fallen. Now 388th in the world. I'd love to hear him explain things.

 

Cantlay, on the other hand, is only moving up. He will become what Putz imagined.

Seems like a victim of the modern power game. Short knockers are at a huge disadvantage against bombers who play all the par 5s like par 4s. Even as good as his short game was, it was the par 5s where prime Tiger separated from the field. After Tiger started the power game guys like Justin Leonard and Faldo faded away quickly.

I know everyone will mention Spieth, but he isn't really a short hitter. He isn't super long like Rory/Day/DJ, but he is long enough to handle the modern Tiger proofed courses.

That's an improvement. End of 2015 he was ranked 635th in the world.

Just to make things clear, Matteo is now more interested in his girlfriend than his golf... who am I to judge anyway ;)

Manassero still has 4 wins to Cantlay's 1 on the major Tours. Includes BMW PGA Championship, much bigger event than the Shriners Open. And he's 1 year younger than Cantlay.

 

No question who is trending better at the moment, but it's easy to forget just how young Manassero still is.

Cantlay basically missed three years because of injury to.

 

I remember when and why this thread was started.... Funny how things go full circle.

Cough cough

Patrick has become one heck of a Player.

LOL way to bring up an old thread. Cantlay with the win! Manassero OTOH hasn't even win on the Euro tour since 2013. Really struggled since going from young superstar to still young but ranked outside 800 OWGR. He's really a short knocker (pro wise) at about 280. Strange since he's 6'1", lanky, and quite talented.

What a sad thread!

[bladehunter]

Is neither an option ?

[Hankshank]

1986 a multitude of the greatest programmers and names in the programming world in the world was given the question ”what will be big in 10 years”. No one even came close to WWW - There are no crystal balls doing their job properly.

 

That said, it’s strange when prodigys disappear. Wonder if Matteo will come back.

Hearing and seeing his interviews after the Memorial, to me, he comes across as confident but not cocky, willing to give the interviewer what they want with no NOYB attitude. Refreshing.

Manny probably getting married soon, unfortunately for golf fans his priorities have changed :(

[tiderider]

_Cantlay > Cauley > Uihlein > Speith > Mannassero_

 

_I'll take Bud Cauley against either one_

 

_How is this even up for debate? Manassero has accomplished more in an amazingly short amount of time. He contends on a regular basis week in week out and has one of the best swings in the game. Once he gains some distance, he'll be even better._

i mean he dropped off the map like four years ago. Hard to believe an impending marriage has much to do with it and it's not like he's got enough money from golf to not have to ever play again. Of course unless he has outside interests that are bringing in dough.

I was really hoping to see the Spieth will never be better than Cantlay thread from five years ago. An all time classic! But, I think the OP dropped out of sight in shame after Jordan's third major, lol

Exactly, his priorities changed after Wentworth. Pitty.

You never know. Manassero could win the British Open out of the blue or clinch the winning Ryder Cup point in Italy. Everyone mentioned in this thread and dozens of others still have 20-25 years left to write their golf history.

[NoTalentLefty]

Lot of good young golfers out there currently. Thomas and Koepka can be added. Cantlay was hurt so he seems to be a better choice as of right now between him and Manassero. The world ranking bear this out.

[chigolfer1]

I recall reading an article about four or five years ago when things started going south for Manessero where he was trying to add more power by changing his swing slightly. That doesn't seem to have worked out very well. Obviously, could be more to it than that but I definitely recall that article.
