Great thread Paul.
I don't know that I agree with your 1 and 2 - - - only because I hold them in high esteem. So, personally I don't underrate them.
(edit: just wanted to clarify that I disagree only because I really like those two. But as far as the general public.... they probably are very underrated).
I would like to mention:
Gary Player -
9 majors! and he played during the Arnie and Nicklaus years. Just an absolutely elite golfer.
Phil Mickelson -
4 majors. 38 PGA tour victories (wow!) - all during the Tiger years. I'm guessing he has a few majors left in him and maybe another 15 tour victories.
Lorena Ochoa -
I feel a little gipped. She retired in her prime. I am holding out hope that she decides to come back and play sometime soon. I won't call her the best - - - - but I think 'underrated' fits.
