PLAYERS Prediction Thread

well all the people who predicted phil were right

I wish Sean had put up more of a fight. He was just a little teeny bit off all day, and the tournament was his for the taking, because Mickelson, despite putting on a very good show driving, wasn't playing lights out either.

The two-putt on 16, the bunker shot at 11, the missed putt at 15, the water balls at 17... Sean should have been leading going to 17 - he shouldn't have needed to fire at the flag. Oh well. Credit to Phil - this win was impressive. I'm not a Phil fan, but I greatly admire the way he played this tournament.

I'm not sure Sean should have had the lead going into 17 but I did feel bad for what happened there. Don't forget Phil missed some very makeable putts on the back nine as well. O'Hair did play very well all week but I just don't think he was quite ready for prime time. Even when the lead was one or two I always had the feeling that Phil was in total control and it seemed like the lead was more than that. I hope O'Hair builds on this, we sure need a young American to step up his game.
