Message: [QUOTE="jncuse, post: 3463500, member: 1969"] When was the last stunning major champion? I couldn't find any major champions since 2011 that were outside of the top 50 in the world rankings at the end of their prior tournament. [B]There was period from 2002-2011 where it was pretty common (counted 11 out of 40 events) -- [/B] Rich Beem 2002 (73rd) Ben Curtis 2003 (393rd) Shaun Micheel 2003 (169th) Todd Hamilton 2004 (56th) Michael Campbell 2005 (80th) Zach Johnson 2007 (56th) Angel Cabrera 2009 (69th) Lucas Glover 2009 (76th) Y.E Yang 2009 (110th) Darren Clarke 2011 (111th) Keegan Bradley 2011 (118th) [B]In the 32 events since then there has been none outside of the top 50 that I could find[/B] Jimmy Walker came the closest at #48 in the 2016 PGA... Ernie Els was #40 in 2012 at the British. [/QUOTE]
