Choi Tames Sony

Hello. Congrats to KJ Choi for winning the Sony Open. Choi is now 5 for 5 when holding a 54 hole lead.
Has Choi taken that next step into the "best player to never win a major" category? I think he could be there now for sure. Sergio Garcia and Colin Montgomerie have been there for a long time, and in Montgomerie's case, time's running out. Choi and Adam Scott now seem to be frontrunners for a title that should be complimentary, but everyone wants to avoid.
Another guy creeping into that category is last week's runner-up, Rory Sabbitini. He's made a wise move by keeping quiet. There's no way anyone wins in a verbal battle with Tiger Woods.
If Tiger weren't around, these guys may all end their majorless streaks this year. However, I would be shocked if Tiger doesn't win at least two majors this year. And if I were a betting man, I'd look at the Masters and US Opens as locks.
Will these guys challenge? They could. But I'm sure they're hoping Tiger stumbles out of the gate, so they don't have to worry about him.
Congrats again KJ!

Regards,
Steve
