Just ask R. Gao...
....and it's a good thing I shave my head mr. #'s cause you can split hairs with the best of them...(feeling of deja vu here)...
Ohhh, uhhh, let me stop you there buddy. You only got one thing straight there, me being ethnic Chinese, but I don't have Chinese passport, and I was not even born in China, but I did live in China for 3 years. And I don't have American passport here either, just work here on L1 visa.

Never said you as an example of an Indonesian retaining their Chinese nationality "buddy"...just your insight and experience in the matter at hand...I DID notice that you made a point to reference yourself as a "Chinese Indonesian" living in the States...that's my point...someone without the knowledge of Indonesian culture would be hard pressed to understand the signifigance of Chinese Indonesian vs your standard run of the mill Manado, Batak, Jawa or Balinese...they are all Indonesian from somewhere on the other side of the world as far as your Houstonian on the street is concerned...however, if you know the culture, you understand a little more about a person, especially in this society, from their ethinc backgrounds...

Ahh, new friendships forging right here on GR. Kinda gives me a warm fuzzy.
Back on topic...based solely on the experience factor, how straight he hits it with that Sasquatch and his hot streaks with that over-over sized square-grip putter, I'd say Choi still has the best (at least as good a) chance at a major win. Kim has proved himself worthy of consideration with his wins this year but he's still got some grinding experience to chew before he sniffs at that major. Nationality, ethnicity, physical build (especially of a "people") never enters into my consideration of how good a player is or may be...I'm not discounting physical differences between golfers but the game is truly played between the ears and brains are all gray just like blood is all red. Neither one may ever win a major but right now (which is all that counts in this game) I'd say Choi has the better chance.
