Was anyone watching Mickelson on hole 8 today? How did his 3rd shot 19 yard pitch over a bunker end up 9 yards short in the sand?

Shorted it just a hair and it rolled back in to the trap.

Mickelson got as many birdies in a row as I have in my entire life. He tore the course up out there.

I figured it had to have been a backspin problem.

Yeah, and what's amazing is to do it two days in a row.  Heck, he could pretty easily have gone 63-63 if you ignore the first 3 holes, though I didn't see the bogeys.  And he really should have gone one lower on Sunday if his birdie putt hadn't lipped out on the last par 5 (16?)  One of the commentators noted, and it agrees with what I've seen, that usually the guy who shoots the course record to get in contention/the lead on Saturday goes and shoots a par or so the next day.  Really hard to bounce back and do it again, but Phil is something else when he's on.  Hope he keeps it up this week!!

Phil proves that he really is one of the most talented players out there. Consistency has been his biggest issue, but when he gets it going, he's on fire. His iron play and short game is incredible.

I wonder what the final score would have been if Phil had a less strong-willed caddie on the bag? Bones doesn't get it right every time, but he sure "nudged" Phil into the right choices off the tee on the weekend.

You mean ... taking the most aggressive possible line on every hole with a driver isn't always the right choice?

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
