Best player who hasn't won worlds. Fpo and Mpo

[Casey 1988]

Barsby is closer to Nate's age than he is Paul's. Paul is 29, Barsby turns 33 this year, Nate turns 35 this year.

Paul is 30 I thought or will be turning this year that number.

MPO has to be Eagle. I'm frankly surprised there's debate on that one.

FPO, probably Tattar? But the Big 3 Europeans would all be good picks.

 

[wolfhaley]

MPO: double G

FPO: Tattar

 

[Chains Bailey]

Historically - MPO - Mike Moser

 

[air show]

Brodie Smith

 

[simes549]

MPO: Steve Rico, M J, Uli, Anton, Simon and Eagle come to mind. Would love to see any one of them bring it home.

FPO: Lisa fakus, Kristin and Evallina ( no idea on the spelling) come to mind

 

[Nick Pacific]

Philo Brathwaite for honourable mention.

That guy's going to be tough to beat playing masters, I think this year or next? Even if he continues to play open there is masters only worlds.

Huh not sure how I missed that.... my bad. I'll change my FPO to Zoe Andyke, if she can become the world putting champion, she definitely has the skills to be a World champion.

With the utmost respect to Zoe, super nice gal, but....no chance.

Have you actually seen Zoe play before? She has 0 chance of ever winning Worlds

"Best EVER to have never won Worlds....and still could:" - Nikko Locastro.

I moved you over.

Now question, you put him ahead of Eagle, Simon. Anthon, & Vinny???

The best ever part in the other thread was a head scratcher on my part, I was taking it more along the lines of "as good or better than anyone who has won worlds, but hasn't". Plus they were talking about Nikko as if he wasn't that relevant to today's pros, at least that's how I took it. But to answer your direct question...Nikko could beat anyone when his game is on. But so could many top elites. I would prefer a stricter criteria to be allowed to play in this event and be crowned "World's Champion".

But after seeing this season go down, unfortunately I don't think Simon will ever win worlds. His game play at the USDGC solidified for me. Frankly, I just don't think he cares. Eagle & Kevin are very high on my next world's champ radar now.
