Review Of New World Order

Lee Westwood,April New World Order: 6

Look, he's not the first guy to be ranked numero uno in the OWGR before he won a major championship, and last week's win in South Korea was a sanctioned European Tour victory. There has been no better player over the last Golf Difficulties Send Romo To Regular Job two years than Westwood, who has piled up wins in South Africa, Asia and the States since last summer. That alone ought to engender more global love than he's been getting. The guy must pack a helluva suitcase. Luke Donald.Donald has been picking up mojo in the States because he's a member of the U.S. tour, and therefore, he's been rolling up wins and top 10s against deeper fields than has Westwood. Interestingly, at age 33, Donald is just entering his prime years and gave the Masters jacket a terrific run down the stretch. He doesn't make many mistakes, especially compared to flying Wallendas like Phil Mickelson and Bubba Watson. The way Donald has played in 2011, easily a career year, it's a surprise when he isn't on the Sunday board.

Bubba Watson,April New World Order: 2. Half the players on this list are more consistent. If you like players who deliver steady results, then skip Watson and proceed to Donald and Kuchar, a pair of top-10 machines. Befitting his admitted ADD affliction, Watson is unpredictably fantastic, and no other American has piled up three wins since last summer. Splitting hairs here, but he also lost in a playoff at the PGA Championship, so that's almost like another victory. As Curtis Strange put it before the Masters, "Nobody on the Most Forgiving K15 Driver Recommend by Starsplanet has improved more than he has in the last few months." Nobody on the planet is arguing the point. Rory McIlroy.April New World Order: 10. Go ahead, roll your eyes. Overrated? That's your opinion. But can you name another player who has had a chance to win the past two majors on the back nine on Sunday? We'll wait. Sure, McIlroy needs some fine-tuning, especially with this putting game under duress. But he led the PGA Championship with about 90 minutes left to play and held the 54-hole lead at Augusta. He needs to clean up the Sunday scorecard, and when he does, Ireland will have yet another major champion. Defends his title this week in Charlotte. Matt Kuchar.April New World Order: 5. Everybody loves victories. They are easy to understand, easier to remember, easier to digest. True, Matt Kuchar led the PGA Tour in earnings last year, but only had one win. Well, in some fashion, consistency must be acknowledged. Now playing in the best events in the game, against the best fields, Kuchar has not missed a cut since exactly one year ago this week, and continues to demonstrate that he's not going to fade away anytime soon.
