I'd say a guy like that maybe wins 10-12 times and gets a major, maybe two if he's lucky, but sometimes things click into place for someone for 6-12 months and they play above their heads and/or get lucky (Padraig Harrington, Mark O'Meara).
I'd put the O/U on his career majors at 2.5 and take the under.

And FWIW, scho, guys like Schwartzl, and Oosthuizen were never "The next big thing."
