Who would I love to see get there? Rickie

 

Who do I think will be there? Jordan, if he keeps playing like he did Sunday.

I think JT has it. All he needs is one or two more good tournaments and the ball will roll very quickly for him. When he gets hot, there is just something about the kid that makes him tough to beat and unlike many other golfers, I feel like he truly has fun regardless of where he finishes that week. That's what its about!

Justin Thomas. He's still really on a roll and I don't see anything in his game that'll stop that

I say Rickie Fowler he looks solid right now. His performance at the Masters was epic and he birdied the 18th under that pressure. I think he gets his first major this year.

"Obviously my iron play is incredible, and when I get going I can get hot, but this course just fits my eye. The shaping of the holes, and just a couple of the doglegs, I'm able to shape shots."

True but Rose has a major and gold medal. Hideki had some chances last year and couldn't close the deal. Jimmy Walker has been a guy who starts off hot and then fizzles. You might be right, but we will see. That's the fun part!

When people pick the hot hand I just think of Hideki last year being hot in the beginning then snuffing out in the middle of the year.

Not the end of the year yet, but pretty close!

Rose will at least hold the #1 spot through the tour championship and the Ryder cup. I guess that doesn't count for calendar year but does hold true for the end of the season I guess.

I was off on my assumption. But he did rise like 670 spots.

 

It's been nothing short of amazing. If you only use this year's OWGR points I think he cracks the top 10. I know he's top 10 in the Sagarin.

I honestly thought the desire to maintain the #1 position would have propelled DJ into at least one more win and more top 3 finishes. It will be interesting to see how long Rosie holds onto this.

Rosie is so consistent that it will take someone getting very, very, hot to overtake him. Rosie always finds a way to grind a top 20 or top 5 even when he doesn't have his best stuff. I see Rosie holding on for at least 9 months.

Koepka has the easiest road to do it. A couple of wins and he's there. Not sure if he has the drive though.

Agreed, if he only has the drive to win majors, well, he can't win them all. He needs to figure out how to stay focused in a normal tour event. I just don't think he is committed enough. He reminds me of DJ in his younger years, crazy athletic talent but no real drive and will to practice.

Fair comparison but I do believe BK wakes up for the majors. To me he's almost the reverse DJ.

Dj won a lot even before becoming the guy he is today (#1 in the world type). BK only has one win on the PGA tour outside of his 3 majors. And look at his record in all majors since coming on tour. His worst weeks in Majors are still top 20s. 

DJ on the other hand... His only win in a major is the one where he didn't know his own score the majority of the final round. haha
