The Elephant Killer Wins The Aggregation Slam

Steve Elling posts his annual computation of the major leaderboards and finds that Masters Champion and proud elephant killer big game hunter Charl Schwartzel bested Steve Stricker by ten shots. Elling posts several observations and the final leaderboard.

To nudge that exclusivity notion further, only three players have made the cut at all four majors in each of the past two years: Schwartzel, Stricker and Mickelson. Might want to keep that in mind when the Masters rolls around in eight months.

Surprisingly or not, Mickelson, 41, has made the cut in his last 16 majors in succession dating to 2007, though he missed the 2009 British Open because of family medical issues. Lefty won the Summative Slam title last year, not to mention 2004 and 2006.
