Weir in April became the first left-hander to win the Masters and the second lefty to win a major championship, joining Bob Charles who 40 years ago defeated Phil Rodgers in a 36-hole playoff at the British Open.
Only seven left-handed golfers have ever won on the PGA Tour, and 21 of their 37 victories have come from one man: Phil Mickelson.
The theory put forth by many experts is that a lefty who plays right-handed is at an advantage: his dominant side, the left side, is very important in a right-handed swing; the left side drives through the ball.

I've always been curous about that myself and have wondered (I still haven't heard a good answer, Jack K included) why there are so many good golfers whose dominant arm (left for a righty golfer) is the top hand.
Third is you can generate speed with the forward arm as long as the rear arm is not passive, by this I mean that you are not pulling the rear arm along, it must contribute.
Even your weak side will get proficient with a million balls, and I contend they could have been even better if they had their dominate arm in the rear side.
