He's one of those players that mises a lot of putts becuase he has so many of them. re length - he's only 19 and about 5'10 - he's got some strength as he ages. As long as the quest for distance or messing around with his swing doesn't get to him, he'll win at least 3 majors.

Sentosa (Singpare Open course) isn't much of a  bomb and gauge course anyway, but there is a premium on being in the fairway, so I'd see him doing well at the US Open if he can get another 20 yards out of his driver.

Matteo is actually around 6" tall and is typically a very good putter. He has plenty of time to gain strength gradually rather than all at once which is beneficial IMO.

He outdrove Oosthuizen on the last playoff hole in Singapore.

I like Mateo just because he's younger and has been pro longer. I see it kind of like the Rickie/Rory thing. Rory turned pro before Rickie and is younger (barely). Not saying Mateo will reach the success Rory has so quickly, but I think he has a better chance than Bud. Both Bud and Mateo will be great golfers, I just think Mateo will win a major sooner and more often.

Matteo is definitely improving his length, when I saw him play this September he was getting his 3 wood out to approx 275 which is pretty decent no?
