Geez, wow, the guy slipped from no. 2 to no.5... sometimes it just happens! Very Happy

I guess he's 'just gettin' by' at World #5!! Don't be so quick to shoot the horse buddy!!

I think Palmer has one more period of time of superb squash in him. Do not think he will get back to 1 but he will get some big tournament wins I am sure. Maybe another 2 or 3 years left I reckon.
As a sidenote it is generally recognised that most Pros peak at 27 or 28. This makes Goughy 10 years past his peak and look at the results he pulls out. He must be some sort of squash freak.
