More Men in the Mirror

Add Bob Charles, David Graham, Johnny Miller, and Nick Price, to the list of major championship winners who play golf from the "opposite" side. That makes eight total that I've learned about. There must be more -- right?

Natural Righties Who Play Lefty
Bob Charles (1963 Open Championship)
Mike Weir (2003 Masters)
Phil Mickelson (2004, '06, '10 Masters; 2005 PGA Championship)

Natural Lefties Who Play Righty
Johnny Miller (1973 U.S. Open; 1976 Open Championship)
David Graham (1979 PGA Championship; 1981 U.S. Open)
Greg Norman (1986, '93 Open Championship)
Curtis Strange (1988, '89 U.S. Open)
Nick Price (1992, '94 PGA Championship; 1994 Open Championship)

UPDATE: According to this article, Byron Nelson and Ben Hogan (!!) were also natural lefties who swung righty.
