Video And Poll: Who Is Your 2013 World Player Of The Year?

We discussed the player of the year on the Grey Goose 19th Hole and I was outvoted 2-1 with Mssrs. Fay and Feinstein picking Adam Scott on the strength of his great run in Australia. While I admire all things Australia, those wins weren't enough to catapult Scott above Phil Mickelson's win at The Open as the defining victory of the season. Throw in his Scottish Open win and near-miss at the U.S. Open, and Phil got my vote.

But what an incredible year it was to have four players with such stellar resumes. A case could be made for each, which brings me to the ultimate tiebreaker: who was the Champion Golfer of the Year (winner of The Open)?

Here's our discussion:

My vote can't be supported by numbers: I expect to remember Phil at the Opens more than anything else.

As much as I loved Mickelson's win at Muirfield, it has to be Stenson for me just for his sheer comebackability.
