I thought this was a very interesting ranking.
1. LUCAS GLOVER (27): Unbelievable talent. Of all the guys in this group, he has the potential to really become a bona fide star on the PGA Tour. I would not be surprised at all if he wins a lot of tournaments and plays on the Ryder Cup. • World ranking: 43.
2. SEAN O'HAIR (24): Has the potential to be one of those guys who can play consistently well for a long period. Looking at stats, he did not putt the ball very well last year. You're not going to get but so far with putting stats like that. • World ranking: 74.
3. BILL HAAS (24): Unlimited talent and another long hitter. He had a real learning experience last year. He played a lot of golf, and you have to get used to that. • World ranking: 244.
4. MICHAEL PUTNAM (23): Watched him in the Walker Cup matches. He has all the skills and is very strong. It will be interesting to watch this first year on the PGA Tour. • World ranking: 226.
5. NICK WATNEY (25): Needs to get in position to win to get that nervous, sick feeling in his stomach -- then accepting it and working through it. • World ranking: 175.
6. TROY MATTESON (27): The finish he had last season certainly proved he's capable. The guy knows how to win. But again, looking at the stats, he has putting problems. • World ranking: 79.
7. RYAN MOORE (24): Great competitor but has an unusual swing that is still a question mark as to whether he will be able to play as consistently as everyone hopes he can. • World ranking: 80.
8. J.B. HOLMES (22): I've known him for a long while. A great kid. Consistency is going to be a huge issue. He won early last year, then basically disappeared. Will that improve? • World ranking: 70.
9. BUBBA WATSON (28): A free spirit. Not afraid to hit a driver when a lot of other guys wouldn't. Creative how he plays the game. • World ranking: 162.
10. D.J. TRAHAN (26): Another guy with a questionable swing. His father is a pro and his only teacher. When it's on, his swing seems to work very well, but he made only 13 cuts in 33 tournaments. • World ranking: 193.
