I watched all of the third and final round play, and this is coming from one who usually doesn't watch golf on t.v a whole lot, but i have to say phil mickelson choked under pressure badly at the end on the final round bogeying 3 of the last 4 holes! Not to mention poor driving from him it was almost surprising to see him be the leader. As well with Vejay (probably spelt that wrong lol) he couldn't putt to save his life missing numberous putts that were under 6 feet of length. It was very strange to see but me not being a fan of belly putters i found it almost enjoyable to see him miss them lol. Any thoughts to why or how these players had these troubles throughout the rounds? I just couldn't believe they were leading the tourney considering the number of poor shots they had each.

In my Black'n'Red :

Driver: R7 TP 460cc 10.5* Reax 65 stiff shaft
3 Wood: Tour Impact 15*
Irons: Tour Impact 3-PWWedges: Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled 54.10, Golfco Baron 58* SWPutter: Tracy II 35"Balls: Prov 1Age:16


Yeah, I don't get Phil at all. Bogies on three of the final four holes to hand away ANOTHER tournament victory to somebody else?

A few years back we watched him do the same thing on 17 and 18 to hand the victory to Tiger. Hits a tree from 17 tee. In jail. Hits bad shot out and makes 6 there and bogey on 18.

If you go back and look at how many times he's lost an event on the back nine Sunday, I think he would rank right up there with the best of 'em in choking away tournaments.

The ultimate "old man" setup:

Ping G30 driver
Ping G Fairway woods - 5 and 7 woods
Callaway X-Hot #5 hybrid; Old school secret weapon
Ping G #6-9 irons; W and U wedges
Vokey 54 and 58* Wedges
Odyssey Versa Putter
Golf Balls

Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

Almost a guarentee he would rank high up there.

In my Black'n'Red :

Driver: R7 TP 460cc 10.5* Reax 65 stiff shaft
3 Wood: Tour Impact 15*
Irons: Tour Impact 3-PWWedges: Vokey Oil Can Spin Milled 54.10, Golfco Baron 58* SWPutter: Tracy II 35"Balls: Prov 1Age:16


Well it was not surprising that Phil choked, but I was pleasantly surprised that Vijay was able to hold on. Very impressive victory IMO.

With Tiger gone we are left to watch the pretenders to his throne stumble and bumble their way to victory or defeat. Phil always seems to end up looking like someone blindsided him with a sock full of horse manure. He bogeys three of four coming home on Sunday, as Vijay misses short putt after short putt. Vijay still managed to back up to the trophy stand, but it was such a lame way to end a WGC event.

I wanted Appleby to take it, he seemed like he had it together in the final round.
