Hell of a player. Obviously he has the game to win anywhere he tees it up, which is a big advantage and to me more truly reminiscent of Tiger than anything else about him (as opposed to a guy like Phil who is a hell of a golfer but has virtually no chance of ever competing for the British Open).
Sweet wing and not one that looks like it would break down or break down his body (unlike Tiger). I can imagine a 45 year old still using that basic swing, though some of the flexibility will clearly be gone.
I think he wins 8-10 majors, including the career grand slam. Could easily be more. I'm not sure he has the drive to be the best, which was Nicklaus' lifelong goal, or the burning desire to top Tiger's or Jack's numbers. Or maybe he does and he just doesn't show it. But he's 22 and he's held the lead at some point in each of the past four majors, so I don't want to put anything past him.
