Wanna pick a major champ? Choose a guy with 12 letters in his name

The 2017 major season on Tour wrapped up on Sunday with Justin Thomas winning the PGA Championship, a victory that brought about a startling similarity with the other winners.
All four of the major winners in 2017 were ranked in the top 20 in the world at the time of victory. But upon closer inspection, something mind-blowing emerges.
Tournament | Player |
---|---|
Masters | Sergio Garcia |
US Open | Brooks Koepka |
Open Championship | Jordan Spieth |
PGA Championship | Justin Thomas |
All four major winners this year had six letters in their first name, and six letters in their last name as well.
Going by that logic, there are three players, other than the four mentioned above, in the top 100 of the world golf rankings that could keep the trend going in 2018.
Player | World ranking |
---|---|
Rickie Fowler | 10th |
Daniel Berger | 19th |
Martin Kaymer | 64th |
