"My one's on whoever shows up in a body cast"

If you're just starting to plan out your picks for the upcoming PGA, Jeff Rude offers some great commentary in the August 2 edition of Golfweek (sorry there's no external link).  He examines the last three majors championship winners and points out that all three of them were dealing with health problems.  He writes:

You don't hoist a major trophy these days without having your doctor on speed dial.  Just this summer, Tiger Woods won the National Open on a broke leg and Padraig Harrington claimed the British version with a wounded wrist.

And, of course, Trevor Immelman battled all sorts of health issues the months leading to his surprising Masters victory.

Does this mean Sean O'Hair will be our next PGA champion?
