## Resource

Some golfers just don’t make sense on paper. Kyle Porter is joined by Shane Bacon to draft the players whose major championship totals don’t match how good they actually were—for better or worse. They discuss: Why Greg Norman might be the ultimate example The painful near-misses of Louis Oosthuizen How Sergio Garcia and Justin Rose ended up with just one major The strange legacy math of Vijay Singh and Phil Mickelson Why Adam Scott feels like he should have more Plus, a broader conversation about how thin the margins are in major championships—and how a single shot can change a career forever. 📫 200K golf fans follow us on social, and 17K read our free weekly newsletter, which is handcrafted to make the daily golf fan’s personal experience of golf feel more meaningful.
