Lightning in a Bottle: The Worst Players Who've Won a Golf Major | News, Scores, Highlights, Stats, and Rumors

Shaun Micheel tops our list of the worst golfers to win a major because he has only won one, he has only finished in the top 10 of another (2006 PGA) and the fact that he was ranked 169th in the world at the time of his only Tour win.

That he has not won more is a mystery to anyone who has seen him play. He has a good swing and knows his way around the greens.

Micheel has hit two of the most memorable shots in major golf history.

In 2010, he made the only "double eagle," or "albatross" in U.S. Open history when he recorded a two on the par-5 sixth hole at Pebble Beach. If you know anything about Pebble Beach, you know that the sixth hole, while not the longest par-5, is certainly not the first hole on which you would think about holing your second shot. The second shot plays dramatically uphill, making the green and even the flag, impossible to see, depending on where you are.

The other shot secured his win at the PGA. On the final hole of the championship, Micheel laced a 7-iron to within inches of the hole. The tap-in birdie gave him a two-shot margin of victory and his only win on Tour.
