Worst player to win a major?

oh, so just in your lifetime?

in tennis I would Go with Michael Chang.

Chang made four GS finals, won seven Masters titles, and was a top 10 player for many years. The worst player to win a GS in tennis was Mark Edmondson. Or you could go with a number of other players who won the Australian Open in the '70s and early '80s. The Australian Open used to have ATP 500-type fields back then because nobody wanted to travel all the way down to Australia in Christmas time. So you had a lot of mediocre players going deep into the Australian Open back in those days.

Paul Lawrie is and was a good golfer. Much better than Ben Curtis.

Shaun Micheel

Ben Curtis has won multiple times on the PGA .... Someone has to be worse ...

Yeah, that dude was shitty.

For sure. One has already been named. I just wanted to point out that Lawrie certainly isnt worse.

Rich Beem

What about Todd Hamilton? I haven't heard of him since he won the British in 2004.

Shaun Micheel, 2003 PGA Champion
- 1 Win on PGA tour
- 1 win on Asian tour
- 1 win on web.com tour
- Best finish in any other major T22

A little misleading if you go by the Wiki page to look at his best finish in another major, because it ignores he finished second in the 2006 PGA after his 2003 PGA win (since on the side it lists the best finish in each major, and obviously second is worse than his win), but yeah, overall, not exactly lighting it up.
