Lots of "experts" have weighed in that the N'Wide is a stronger tour than the European Tour. Even if that is not the case, any tour that has a strong enough field to be compared to the European Tour would win every event Ochoa wasn't in.
I think a middle of the pack Nationwide guy would be in the top 10 consistently and win a few, but not dominate to that extent. If he was that good with his wedges and putter he wouldn't be a middle of the pack Nationwide guy.
