I just did an analysis of this fellow’s swing not too long ago (click here if you haven’t seen it), but I like it so much I had to do it again after watching the final round of the WGC in Mexico. He just looks so solid in every aspect of the game I can’t see him not becoming a perennial top 10 player, but then again, it’s golf, and who the hell really knows? In the video I point out some interesting things in Van Rooyen’s swing, most notably his use of a toe-up takeaway and a generally more open face in the backswing and transition. One thing specially to watch is his awesome pivot action, his hips even deeper than Fleetwood’s. He’s 30 years old, 6 foot 3 and 200 lbs., and looks lean and exceptionally fit. Guys with his body are showing up more and more now. Average driving distance for the Tour can only go up unless the equipment is regulated.
