Wow! Michelson with a 10 on the 18th! He slid a wedge under the ball then into the rocks. My oh my.

Or was it a 10?

I’m kinda done with PM. He’s becoming a John Daly in that he’s making an ass of himself more than playing competitive golf.

Yes, it was. Sorry. I did edit the score but at the time I posted I was still trying to count his strokes in my head and missed one. I enjoy watching these blowup holes for the pros because I can relate. Watching him slide that 60 (or maybe I should say, "less than driver", 😁) under the ball looked just like something I would do!

The announcer also mentioned that Kuchar is 10th (I think it was) on the money list with 54 million and that Michelson is second with 92 million. That pretty much ended my relating to pro golfers, though!

He's like a game show - entertainment for the masses, these days. Still, with his lifetime golf income, I do wish he'd adopt me...

No worries - I saw your post and took a quick look at the leaderboard that was up on my computer and saw he had a 10 on one hole, and wasn't sure if maybe he also had a 9 somewhere else.

Well that certainly explains his hesitancy to throw that caddie in Mexico a respectable bone.

Lol - I've never been a Phil fan, just because I was a Tiger fan, and Phil always seemed to be the closest competition. But I did enjoy watching him play. I also enjoyed watching him take high risk (or possibly just poor decision making) shots, like the 2012 Masters on #4, and 2006 US Open at Wingfoot on #18. Lately though, the whole hitting bombs, calves of Adonis, aviator sunglasses, coffee sipping, social media personality seems manufactured, and I've decided I don't like it. I'm sure Phil himself is an okay person.

Also, he always seems to be in a featured group on PGA Tour Live, when there are better players I would rather watch.

I’ve watched the DVR 5 times and I’m still not coming up with 10.

Shot 1: Tee

Shot 2: fairway, 269 yards from hole. Lands in penalty area.

Shot 3: relief, drop in fairway.

Shot 4: stroke from fairway, lands short and rolls back into penalty area.

Shot 5: stroke in penalty area, wedge glides under ball.

Shot 6: stroke in penalty area, ball hops onto rough, rolls back onto boulder, then down onto rocks in creek bed.

Shot 7: relief from penalty area, drop in fairway.

Shot 8: stroke from fairway, lands on green.

Shot 9: 1-putt into hole.

Where did I miss a stroke?

[Darkfrog]

The leaderboard/scorecard on the website for the tournament shows it as a 10, but I didn't see it live. I think Phil was in a featured group today, so I might try to FFW through the PGA Tour Live replay and see if I can find it.

I have to agree with most of this. But you left out his appearance in Tin Cup.

The announcers said 9 at first.

I recall he one putted unless they missed show it. He made a 10-15 footer.

If only there was a site that listed play by play info… 🙂

1. Shot 1 306 yds to right fairway, 269 yds to hole
2. Shot 2 273 yds to water, 46 ft 8 in. to hole
3. Shot 3 Penalty, Drop in left intermediate, 70 ft 4 in. to hole
4. Shot 4 47 ft 8 in. to right rough, 24 ft 4 in. to hole
5. Shot 5 5 in. to right rough, 24 ft 3 in. to hole
6. Shot 6 5 in. to right rough, 24 ft 1 in. to hole
7. Shot 7 5 ft 7 in. to rock outline, 28 ft 11 in. to hole
8. Shot 8 Penalty, Drop in left fairway, 78 ft 8 in. to hole
9. Shot 9 89 ft 5 in. to green, 15 ft 8 in. to hole
10. Shot 10 in the hole

In other words, they probably didn't show either shot 5 or 6.

Here's what it looked like - notice they call it a 9, too. Confused me when I was trying to count them up and type on here.

Phil redeemed himself with a 4 on the same hole this morning.
