Not a lot of backlash on Phil's WD; thought I would see/hear more, though I could just be missing it.

Wow...   I'm surprised.  Can you imagine the backlash had this been Tiger with a WD saying it was for "Rest" as Phil did?

Honestly, Although I hate to see anyone WD, I try not to judge them too harshly because you never really know what someone is going through or what their thoughts are.

It's funny.  I like Phil, I love to see him in contention, but for some unexplained reason, I love to see him lose!  I don't get it.. but I constantly find myself rooting for him to be in contention and then I pull for the other person (unless it's Sergio)...

FIGJAM withdrew and Chamblee just basically gave him a pass. Like the poster above stated if this was Tiger they would have a field day with this. Phil basically said well I probably won't win so.......IM OUT BITCHES!

LOL........   HA.... I just saw where he said "without a chance to contend at the Tour Championship, the most important thing for me now ...."  is to WD and say F-it, I want some rest...

Maybe there is more behind it and maybe he does need the rest, but that's funny!!!

Before the BMW, Phil said he was not accustomed to playing this many weeks in a row, and was tired.

I think the PGA took its toll, especially the finishing hole. He was pissed about the second shot and how that hole was finished. He probably believes it affected him and the outcome. I think he was done ... mentally, after that.

And now Keegan withdraws because he thought that he had violated the rules; Slugger White absolved him, Keegan sleeps on it, and still feels uncertain, and withdraws.

I predict the MVP of the US Ryder Cup Team will be the Team Psychologist.

I have no issue with Phil WD from the tournament. Each golf has to do what is best for them. If he is struggling physically, and wants to prioritize the Ryder Cup. I have no issue at all.

It's the mention of not being in contention that makes it not seem about needing rest. He more or less just bailed two days early considering he wouldn't make it beyond that. Not sure what an extra two days is going to do for him considering he's been iffy all year (for Phil). He can do what he wants but it seems cheesy to me. The crowd following him was second only to Rory's. He had a huge crowd of young guys with custom printed Phil t-shirts and he walked around like a sourpuss. It was unbecoming.

Concur, I wish all the US Ryder Cuppers would withdraw at this point. Didn't see a thread on Keegan's situation. Poker night last night so didn't watch yesterday. I don't get what the controversy could be. If the ball embedded and he dropped, he must have seen the embed. And, if it was there the next morning for S White to see, it must have been pretty obvious. Anyone have a take that knows about it more than me?

I've followed Phil 3 or 4 times and only once when he was playing well (Colonial in '05 or so when he won it). I've never seen him act like a "sourpuss" (I like this word, my mom used it all the time ;)). I guess even Phil can't be "on" 100% of the time but I'd bet he does a better job than almost anyone at it. I cut him some slack, who knows what's going on in his head.

So … uh … I waited too long to get tickets for tomorrow. Long shot, but any of you other Denver folks have an extra ticket?

Being there in person, the rough is practically nothing here. No different rough than my high school tournaments.


I didn't see the rough as a problem as much as that course lays out kind of funky. Especially back where they are playing. Lots of hilly fairways that slope. Smallish old school greens that they missed often. I've played a few of the private courses around here, The Ranch, Lakewood, Boulder. Seemed to be a popular thing for greens to have severe slope back in the day. Not roller coaster stuff but standing on a hill putting stuff. As much talk as there was about the ball flying on the longer par 4's their approach shots were pretty far out IMO.

    • Day 514, March 28, 2024 Quick ten minutes while waiting for the wife to come home for our trip.
    • Day 262: did a stack session. Worked on rehearsal swings during rest breaks. 
    • It's been a little more than a year since I can last remember hitting golf balls and today I just got my second cortisone injection in 11 months. I thought maybe shortly after the first injection I was going to be able to start playing again with therapy but the pain while doing my backswing past halfway just didn't subside like just lifting my hands up in the air did. So today the Orthopedic surgeon put more in the backside of the shoulder than before to address the tendon more. I'm going to try therapy for another 3 months and if I  can't swing the club without pain then I think surgery is going to be my next option.
    • I was just down visiting family in southern California and we played a couple rounds of golf. I hit my ball into the deep rough near some tree's and my cousin's husband offered me his Sim 2 Rescue Hybrid to try out. And I felt the same way, wow! I loved it, it also had a Pure DTX grip on it which I loved. As soon as I got back home, I ended up buying two used Calloway Rogue X hybrids, 3 and 5. So far I've only tested them out at the range, but I love them. They're much more forgiving than irons for me.
