GolfbloggerUK Hot Golf Tips - the players to watch out for in the 2010 golf season
Saturday, 2 January 2010
Now is a time of year to reflect on the progress made by my golf tips for last season and to give you my players to watch out for in the 2010 golf season.
I tipped Rory McIlroy to do well and he reached number 9 in the OWGR and recorded his maiden win, among many other fine performances - lets face it I was hardly sticking my neck out there!
My 2nd tip was Martin Kaymer of Germany to do well and I believe that he could have scaled even greater heights if it was not for his foot injury. The German golfer still finished the season in 13th place in the official world golf ranking, and I am tipping him for even great things in 2010 if he can shake off this injury.
My other tip was Sean O'Hair of the USA, who improved from 59th to 13th in the official world golf ranking. I am still sticking with O'Hair for the 2010 season and adding fellow-Americans Rickie Fowler, and Jamie Lovemark.
I am also expecting great things of the highly talented Michael Sim of Australia, who had a record breaking season on the 2009 Nationwide Tour in the States.
What about this side of the pond? I have been raving about Sam Hutsby since I watched him on the practice strip at the Scottish Mens Strokeplay Championship at Murcar Links. I am tipping the Liphook Golf Club member and 2009 Walker Cup player for a very consistent 2010 golf season and rookie of the season honours on the European Tour.
The Molinari Brothers are also two players to watch out for in 2010 after winning the World Cup of Golf in 2009 and recording several notable performances. They are both in the OWGR top-50 and have deservedly gained entry into the 1st major of the year, the 2010 U.S Masters at Augusta National.
I am also going to go with one very experienced player on the world stage and that is Retief Goosen of South Africa, who won on three continents last season and should have won imore times in Europe and the USA. He is swinging really great with awesome rthymn and looks a lot fitter; and I see him making a serious challenge for another golf major win in 2010.
In the Far East, Ryo Ishikawa continues to pick up great experience at home and around the globe. He won last year's Japan Golf Tour leading money earner title and he should be looking to make more of an impact on a worldwide basis this year.
Time will tell if these golf tips are going to be a 'bum steer' or not and I hope I have more success than I had on the European Tour Fantasy Golf competition last year!
DO YOU AGREE WITH THE ABOVE OR WHICH GOLFERS DO YOU TIP FOR 2010?
