It rarely happens in other sports but this season alone there have been about 14 maiden title winners, on both sides of the pond. Tennis occasionally throws up a non-seeded player who wins but it does not occur in Squash, Boxing, Wrestling, Rowing or most other indivulistic sports. Monty said this week " 10 years ago a player outside the top 50 had no chance to win, but now they do, and regularly." So what is it that is causing this phenomenon. Is is the Coaching. Is it the Conditioning. Is it the Psychology ? I believe that it is a mixture of all of the above, together with the new equipment which keeps the ball straighter and the fact that even a player who rarely makes the headlines can earn big money in this sport, and this allows him to spend time practising when previously he had to supplement his golf earnings by finding other part time employment. Take Graeme Storm, for instance. 5 years ago he lost his card. Since re-gaining it he has played quite well during the first 36 holes of a tournament, but then fading. Occasionally finishing in the top ten. This week he played magically. Driving long, hitting greens, pitching and putting beautifully...despite the fact that Monty was in the lead. Storm won almost half a million pounds in one go ! Look at Brian Bateman. Rated 177th in all round play in '06 and 159 in '07, yet he has career earning of $3 mill One thing is for certain. If you could 'Bottle' what ever it is that is responsible for the startling upturn in the fortunes of such golfers you would be richer than TW ! Anyone with any ideas, please do not leave me out!
