Today’s Forum Thread of the Day comes from schley, who created a thread to discuss the best five ball strikers of all time who have also won a major. Plenty of notable names feature in what has become an excellent debate amongst our members.
Here are a few posts from the thread, but make sure to check out the entire discussion and have your say at the link below.
- Drudersh: “If the only criteria is to have won a single Major then you have to give an honorable mention to Keegan Bradley and Adam Scott. I’m not a Bradley fan, but I have a lot of respect for a guy that has consistently been outside the top 150 in SG putting over the last few years and KEPT his tour card.”
- oldpalchamp: “I would definitely have the 2 Nick’s on the list, Faldo and Price. I think both of them, in their prime, were definitely better ball strikers than Greg Norman, or Tom Watson.”
- Hawkeye77: “So, Jack, Tiger, Hogan, Trevino. Don’t give me some choking can’t hit it under pressure guy like Norman in the majors. Price burned bright briefly, but I’d give Faldo the edge ala Tiger and Jack. Miller also burned bright and was incredible for a time, but it’s not “ballstriker for a day”. Just another $.01.”
- mocokid: “Snead, Hogan, Nelson, Trevino, if we are talking masters of controlling where the ball went. The others yes are great champions, but many of them were a bit ‘wild’- Seve, TW, Tiger, Jack, at times.”
