Whats with the comparison to tiger? In case you didnt notice, Lee beat tiger. Lee played like a winner, he deserved to win, but so did Phil.

yeah, lee did beat tiger, but only by a few strokes. lest we forget, tiger had two eagles and four birdies in the last round. he also had five bogeys, which is why he lost. but my point is, the only other player on tour who could match that is phil. i was making the point that when either tiger or phil is on, no other players come close to them. this was also tiger's first tournament of the season, and he came in 4th at the master's. that's why i put tiger in the comparison.

He is a class act. I loved his interview and his attitude. The question was pretty stupid but he gave a great answer. His swing, a little goofy but he hits the ball pretty darn well. He will win a major IMO.

Did you see that putt on 2. That was the worst break in the history of golf. Everything didn't go phils way. He battled and won. Those up and ins on 10 and 11 weren't easy.

Westwood played a solid 4 days of golf. He just ran into a freight train called "Mickelson on a hot streak." I would have been happy to see him, Choi, or Kim win, along with lefty. One thing about Westwood...dude looks like Wojohowitz.

We said in the live chat that it wasn't going in regardless.

Ditto, or at least Him, Choi or Phil. Westwood's mental game has to be getting stronger, after being close in the British and seemingly closer here, until Phil caught fire. I hope he gets a major one of these days.

I love Westwood. He's a class act, and a great golfer. Plus, he's English like me!

I think a major will be his in due time, the only question is when? Hopefully it'll be soon. Would love to see him win the British Open at St. Andrews, since I assume that one would mean the most to him.

I switched over when i saw Lee had lost the lead and Phil was running away with it,i really wanted Lee to get his major,maybe next time...

I turned the Masters off when Phil stepped on the 18th green and went to empty trash around the house. I would have been rivited if Lee were going to win. I would have hung on every word of the interview/press conference; but Phil... yawn. Lee ois very intriguing, he has shown some amazing drive to have the history that he has.

Westwood is well mannered. A few years ago, I was having dinner at Tbonz in Augusta(Masters week) and took a potty break. As I headed to the restroom, out pops Lee Westwood who waited for me to enter by holding the door open. And I was several feet from the door, but there he was smiling as I headed towards the door. Of course it could have been because my eyes looked big and he assumed I needed to go pretty bad.

But he did seem like a nice guy. And he was there with his Euro buddies, Darren Clarke and Thomas Bjorn.

so, after trying everything he could to come in second or third place today, lee westwood finally wins his second american event. don't get me wrong, i really like lee and wish him the best, but you've gotta admit he's got a certain knack for losing tournaments in the last nine holes after a multi-day lead.

one of the most bizarre endings to a tournament ive ever seen

Yep. But I don't feel bad for Robert - he could have done something differently about four different times and still won. Or at least twice - hit a 5-iron off the tee. Hit two sand wedges after his tee shot went in the water. Not hit 3W off the tee in the playoff... not pulled his shot so far left on the tee or his third shot on the 72nd hole.

Tough lesson to learn but I hope for his sake he learned it.

ye definitely, he could have gone wedge-wedge-wedge and then three putted and would have won but i guess things go blurry when you have a huge chance to get your first win

The tee shot into the water was bad but the chunked & hooded second shot was just horrific. I can't remember the last time I saw a tour pro hit a shot that bad, that was one ugly shot.

It was brutal to watch the guy come apart like that but with a 3 shot lead on the last hole that's really in inexcusable series of bad decisions and a colossal meltdown.

hope he takes his second place money and drops 5 grand on getting braces and his teeth fixed...god he looked like a hillbilly or at worst a Brit.

Hey guys, that was a crazy finish. I just got back from Southwind and baking in the sun all day. We were just walking back from the 18th green in the direction of 18 tee box toward our car after seeing Westwood and Slocum finish and thinking it was over, we wanted to beat traffic. We were halfway around the fairway when we saw Garrigus hit into the trees. We didnt know, at the time, he already hit his drive in the water so we stopped and watched him triple out for the tie.

Ofcourse, we stayed and watched the 4 playoff holes. I couldn't believe how both Westwood and Karlsson missed those 3 and 4 footers on 12.

This was my first tournament to attend and I loved it, especially since the guy I was rooting for won.
