Here are GolfChannel.com’s Power Rankings, a weekly barometer of the hottest players in the game:
| 2010 Power Rankings: Week 29 |
| RK(LW) | NAME | COMMENTS |
| 1(4) | Lee Westwood
| Not that the Englishman needed another major near-miss to prove his worth but it’s hard to believe he doesn’t collect that coveted Grand Slam sooner rather than later. |
| | Justin Rose
| |
| Missed the cut at St. Andrews but he’s still among the best in the game right now, both physically and mentally. |
|
| | Graeme McDowell
| |
| Done in by a third-round 76, but for the second consecutive major the Northern Irishman was part of the conversation on the weekend. |
|
| | Louis Oosthuizen
| |
| Louis the Great was flawless in fierce conditions at St. Andrews and with two victories this year in Europe he’s overtaken his mentor Ernie Els as the top South African. |
|
| | Steve Stricker
| |
Like Mickelson, links golf really isn’t his cup of tea, but the PGA Championship next month is a home game and he’s still one of golf’s top putters,
|
|
| | Rory McIlroy
| |
| Took his lumps on Friday and still has yet to post a competitive round in the 70s on the Old Course, but if anyone can learn from his Open experience he will. |
|
| | Phil Mickelson
| |
| Made a mess of the Open Championship, but that was hardly unexpected, and he will be impossible to ignore at next month’s PGA Championship. |
|
| | Luke Donald
| |
| Another major without Donald being a factor. Still, the Englishman is having a decent summer. |
|
| | Jeff Overton
| |
| He tied for 11th at St. Andrews, his fifth top-15 finish in his last nine starts. |
|
| | Dustin Johnson
| |
Was solid at St. Andrews with his tie for 14th and has clearly put Pebble Beach behind him.
