I see your point. However, I still place Fowler a half cut below those Big 3. While winning the Players was impressive, he needs to win a major over the next couple of years to be considered elite.

I agree on the major factor. That's how success is measured in this era of golf.

That said; Fowler's performance in the final round at the players was the best round of golf played on tour this year, IMO.
