I'm sure that some people will crucify me for saying this, but I honestly don't think a guy like Lee Trevino would even be in the Top 100 if he were playing today. The players today are bigger, stronger, in much better shape, and they also have much better instruction. How could a guy like Lee Trevino compete with these guys on a 7400 yard golf course? I just don't see it.

my guess is lee trevino today would benefit from the technology of the golf clubs and golf balls - he would hit the ball farther than what he did in the past
i was much stronger at 25 than i am today at 36 ,yet i drive the ball at least 20 -25 yrds further , why is that , the golf ball is juicied and the drivers allow you to hit the ball further
if fred funk could win on tour in his late 40's , rest assured lee "buck" trevino would win today if he was in his 20's or 30's - he would probably hit it about 275 -280 off the tee , and he would still beat them with the wedge and putter , he proabaly only he it about 250 back in the 70's off the tee with them old wood clubs
