VJ certainly remains capable of winning and being a factor in the majors but his best days are behind him and I fully expect we'll continue to see his decline.
I agree. There's just too much "limber" in his swing. Johnny Miller pointed that out yesterday and it's true. He's so loose and his backswing so excessive that there's just too much room for error. You could see on Sunday that there was no love lost between he and Phil and it was obvious that VJ would have liked to trounce Phil, but his swing just couldn't hold up. Slow fade to black.
