    I voted for Bubba but was torn between him and Sergio. Notable mentions to KJ and Jimenez.

    Don't like Westwood, never have. Would be quite happy if he never picked up one as he is too smug as it is.

    Has to be Jimenez for me. The man is a legend.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,984 ✭✭✭Degag


    I've voted Miguel even though i've Dufner and Bubba backed....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 88 ✭✭paintitblack


    Jimenez first choice. . .extremely likeable! And if not him sergio gets the sympathy vote

    A lot of good players on that list. Shows how difficult they are to win.

    I'd vote for Shane Lowry.

    I can't understand how people are drawn to Bubba Watson. Behaved like a spoilt child in France and i find him unbearable most of the time when he's interviewed. Garica behaves like smug little git too, wouldn't speak to Harrington for months after Harrington beat him fair and square for a second time in a major. There is no doubt he's good enough to win a major though, one of the best ball strikers i've ever seen...if only he could sort his head out on a big Sunday. Watson will probably win a US-PGA some year they get great weather for the 4 days.

    Along with Westwood, they would be my least favorite golfers. I voted Stricker. He's got a phenomenal short game, reinvigorated his career and seems a real genuine humble man, traits i would not attribute to Watosn, Garcia and Westwood.

    +1 for Stricker.

    Gentleman.

    On the basis that all men are entitled to their opinion, I shall happily opine that Westwood is a twat. Showing off his muscles to the camera during the junket across China there last winter made me want to boot the telly. I know it's being argued in a different thread but I definitely think he's got an anti McIlroy thing going on. Bit sad but I suppose if it's what it takes to motivate him....

    Sergio because I think he deserves it with the golf he has played in the last decade or so. Jimenez is the most likeable guy for sure but not a better golfer then Garcia and for that reason I didn't vote for him. Westwood was in with a shout also because he also deserves it for much of the same reasons as Garcia.

    You obviously haven't seen the Ryder cup in the last 10 years or so!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,628 ✭✭✭themandan6611


    You obviously !!!

    obviously, eh i have and he's still a spoilt brat, and he ain't going to win this one or any future one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,500 ✭✭✭✭DEFTLEFTHAND


    I'd love Sergio to win it and shut that awful Karl McGinty the hell up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,082 ✭✭✭bigtimecharlie


    Sergio for me, closely followed by his fellow Spaniard M.A. Jimenez.

    If nothing for heir service to golf.
