How many times did those guys finish second to Tiger?
Phil did in the 2002 US Open. Sergio did in the 1999 PGA. Other than that, I don't believe any of them did. Those guys haven't lost majors because Tiger hoovered them up; they lost them because they failed in clutch moments.
Luke Donald is the perfect example of what I'm talking about. That guy will be a top 20 OWGR player for years, but he'll never win a major. Westwood doesn't have it, and neither does Sergio.
To be honest, McIlroy is a mentally weak player too, but he's so damned talented that when he's on he can lap a field.
The truly great players are the ones who can win w/o their best game, and Rory can't fight his swing or confidence and perform.
