This is probably one of our closer matchups.

Let the best man win!

Tough one but Jason Day just pips it for me

 

[Carolina Dundee]

As of today Sutton but Day still has some time to pass him.

Be the right club today!

Really? This is one where I think the numbers are so close it could really go either way. I think the OWGR numbers might take it to Day. As much as I like Sutton, I just don't know.

Just a couple more hours. Only 3 voters so far. Anyone else wanna jump in?

Originally I was thinking Sutton but looking at the stats I would go with Day particularly given that he is young and still has time to add to his resume.

Make sure you get that vote in up top so it's counted.

I voted for Hal "be the right club today" Sutton.

Probably one of the last tv tournaments I watched in it's entirety on a Sunday. It wasn't his major win when he said those 5 words, but it was special just the same.

On another note, I hope Michael Campbell gets a shot in this thread.

Closing this one up. Ended up being close.
