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.

Richie, I gotta disagree with you here. Trevino would make mince meat out of most of these guys today, especially if he had todays golf ball. See, guys like Lee, they know how to "play golf." A great majority of guys on tour today, especially the young ones, all they know how to do is hit it as far as they can off the tee and then wedge it on. Lee Trevino could hit shots in his prime that most of these kids on tour now couldn't hit in their best wet dream.
