Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Champ is as hit or miss of a golfer as there is right now in the pro game. He's bad at everything other than how far he can hit it, but if he has a field average week on certain courses in most categories, he can win because he's the longest driver in the world by a big margin.
I tend to think he'll get better. His putting isn't that bad, and almost all these very long hitters eventually start becoming average or better wedge players because they have so many wedges per round, and are forced to improve in those areas. If he can get good at other areas other than how long he hits it, he'll be a star. If not, maybe he'll be a little more consistent as he plays more years on the PGA Tour. He still should be able to win at least periodically because even the bad players are able to run into a week or two per season when they putt well or scramble well on certain golf courses.
