No, I wasn't sweating. There is always a possibility of a miracle.

So far he's been great in two tournaments, the US Open and The Masters.

There have been players in history that seem to have been able to play their best in majors. Andy North won three tournaments in his his career and two fo them we US Opens.

There have been a lot of players that many thought were going to be the next Nicklaus, Hogan or Woods and many had streaks but didn't sustain their winning ways. There was a guy named Jack Renner back in the 70s and early 80s that was supposed to be the next Hogan. Hal Sutton was deemed to be the next Nicklaus but, although was a very good player, never reached the heights expected of him.

There have also been players that most thought had no chance to win a major and won one and were never heard from again.

We will see if Will Zalatoris becomes a great or just a guy that had a couple of good tournaments.

Jack Fleck anyone?
