Stenson, Ogilvy, Immelman Looking Good

Hello. It's not too long ago that if you asked who the best male Swedish, Australian and South African players were, the answer would be Parnevik, Scott and Els. Or Parnevik, Elkington and Goosen. Now I'd have to say it's Stenson, Ogilvy and Immelman.
Stenson has looked great this past 6 months. A Ryder Cup win, a Dubai win over Woods and Els, and now the WGC Match Play. Great accomplishments. And since he can hit the ball a mile, and is great on the greens, he looks like he's going to keep going.
All Ogilvy has done in the past year is win the Match Play, finish as a runner-up and win the US Open. Now that he's got his first child routine down and the post-major celebration period over with, look out!
And Immelman, the last man to beat Tiger on US soil in a stroke play event, seems to be ready as well to carry the South African flag into battle. He looks very consistent, the kind of US Open game that can win consistently.
Will these guys finally go where Adam Scott, Sergio Garcia and Charles Howell (among others) have not been able to go because of bad putters and/or being intimidated by Tiger? Time will tell, but it could very well happen. Now.

Regards,
Steve
