This latest tournament, the Andalucia Valderrama Masters, was spectacular. Great golf, great players, and top 10 successes for two great competitors. Graeme McDowell won the hard-fought event. Sergio Garcia and Jose Maria Olazabal each earned a top 10 finish in their second event of their comebacks. For Olazabal, this was only his third golf tournament of the year and he scored a top 10. Proof that he is one of the all-time best golfers with some of the greatest inherent talent of any player ever.
And, the biggest news for the Tour is that Lee Westwood is claiming the World #1 ranking this week. It's about time we have a #1 player whose game actually reflects that ranking. I've said often enough the rankings system needs revamped and this time I have to question whether or not Martin Kaymer should actually be the World's #1 player, given that he's won four times this year, including a major and he's participated in the Ryder Cup. Graeme McDowell should also be considered in the discussion of World's #1.

Yes I hope Ollie make a good comeback and we can see him again on the PGATour, especially the Masters. Ollie through his career was first in putts per rounds, scrambling, sandtraps etc. and this with a very poor drive. It he would have an 'average' drive, he would at one point been #1 in the world. If the Masters would be played using the 'stableford system' he would have won 4 Masters. He made a comeback in the past, he can make a comeback again and I hope to see him win again soon.
That is another year which has gone by so quickly and what an amazing year of golf it has been! I can't wait for 2011!
