The question is how many of those years are peak years? Monty has never really been one for physical conditioning and that's going to play a factor in his ability to play at a high level as he ages. I think if he's going to get it done it's got to be in the next two to three years max.
Monty says that because he has an easy swing, and it doesn't put much pressure on his body, that he should be at his best for longer than the type of player who puts alot of stress on his body during his swing. An example of that type of player would be JB Holmes in my opinion.

I was thinking the same thing. He has that long, flexible easy swing like VJ, but age seems to be taking a toll on VJ or maybe he's just in a bit of a slump. When you fade a bit over 40 people automatically presume it's age. If Fred Funk can contend through his 40s I see no reason why Monty or VJ can't.

I've wondered about VJ a lot this year...Is he burned out or just having an off year? (Wish I could have an off year and play so well!)
