Rory all the way! Phil has some kind of mental block that keeps him from finishing a tournament the way he starts. If he would settle down a bit and play golf instead of worrying about how far he hits his clubs, then he would probably win some tournaments.

Rory, no question. Every time Phil tees it up, it is a train wreck waiting to happen.

Well, it usually starts as a train wreck, and it used to end with an awesome shot of some kind, recently, it hasn't

I hate to say it, but you wonder if Phil has much left in the tank.He's 40 years of age now, has that troublesome arthritis and with his family's ongoing health problems, is it all taking it's toll?I hope not, but his form has been patchy for his entire career and that's certainly not going to improve now.That said, I woudn't be surprised if he wins the Masters again next year.
A great shot is when you go for it and pull it off. A smart shot is when you don't have the guts to try it. ~ Phil Mickelson.

I said it before and I'll say it again if you can bet Rory each way in every tournament do it. I have been and I'm way ahead. basically your $200 bet gets split and you have 100 on him to win at say 28:1 and you have a $100 on him to come in top 5 at 14:1 or whatever the odds are.
Thanks for the reminder too. I just went and put some money down on the rorster quick. and a few others in case he decides not to show up. I think he may take this one down though.

Rory over phil any day for now on... Take away both their victories this season

(Take away Phil's Masters Win)
(Take away RORS QH win)

Rory much better season as he was pretty close at the British and PGA... good showing at the masters and some high finishes in other tourneys.

    • Didn't score better, but made better swings on the course today. I found a bit of success on range pre-round, just hitting like what felt like 60-70% shots. It was more right elbow and right wrist angles in the downswing. Driver took a bit to work out the giant toe push draws I was hitting.
    • Played in the first round of Shawnee Hills  course tournament. went 42+46. Just lost energy on the back nine.  Lots of pars and way too many big scores. Course has a lot of areas to lose a golf ball. This is the adjusted score.  I had to return to the tee twice. The first the guy I played with didn’t tell me my ball bounced into the trees behind the green. 😡 the 2nd one I hit a decent draw over the corner of a slight dog leg left. I didn’t know 15-20 yards from the fairways was nasty weeds. I also 4 putted and 3 putted a few times. I flubbed like two chips. Too long of backswing.  I was happy with my ball striking. Probably B-. Found a bit of something on the range before the round. I’m starting to actually feel my right arm position better with what I am working on. I striped some irons today.  
    • Birdied #4 at Quail Brook today. Tees were up today and it was only 146 to the flag. Hit it 12’ right of the hole and made the putt. That’s just my second birdie of the front nine at my home course this year? Man I’m playing like trash.
