So a guy on sportscenter said something this morning that got me thinking about American Pro Golfers.
1. Currently all 4 major titles are currently being held by a non-American.
2. Of the past 20 Majors played, International Players have won 12 against the 8 titles won by Americans. That seems close but when you factor in 4 out of the 8 American titles were held by a guy named Tiger. So if you take Tiger out of the equation, Americans not named Tiger have only won only 25% percent of recent majors (12-4).
3.When I look at the first 5 names at the Master's this year, I see 3 Australians, a South African and Tiger.
Anyways, looking at these stats, my first thought is that Tiger's play has single handedly been hiding the fact that the rest of American Golfers have been coming up short compared to their International Counterparts.
Where were all the young American Guns this week at the Masters? Hunter, Kuchar, Bubba, Anthony Kim,? Edit: Barnes did post a -3 for a tie for 20th.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on the amazing depth and talent that the international players are showing?
