Euro PGA Drought Coming To An End?

Hello. I didn't realize until today how long it's been since a European player had won the PGA. It's been 78 years! Since Tommy Armour did it in 1930, no Euro has done it. Amazing!
This one surprises me more than the US Open drought of 38 years (Tony Jacklin in 1970). The PGA Championship is usually the most "fair" of the majors. And looking at the list of one-time major winners who made the PGA their only title (Paul Azinger, Wayne Grady, David Toms among others) it is truly unbelievable that Faldo, Ballesteros, Montgomerie, Langer and others didn't win.
Will one come through this time? As mentioned yesterday, Lee Westwood and Padraig Harrington are good bets. And Sergio Garcia cannot be discounted, especially if his putting gets on track. Ian Poulter can also come through if he plays like he did on British Open Sunday.
I do think a Euro will win this time. One of the 4 mentioned above. And it may open the floodgates.
All the best to everyone.

Regards,
Steve
