Is it just me or did anyone else see the look on Phil's face when he saw that there was gonna be a play-off... It was like, Geez.... Will I make it to the kick-off of the Super Bowl?... Let's get this over with.

To me, it looked like Phil's heart was not into it.

He's now the youngest player to win twice (referencing current age, not age at time of second win). Not bad to be a repeat winner and a long hitter.

Well done JB Holmes, that was a pretty clutch finish to hole that putt on 18 to take the tournament into a playoff. He absolutely crushed that drive on the playoff hole and it an excellent approach before calmly slotting home that winning putt!

An excellent way to win the tournament, congratulations on your second win JB Holmes!!

yea Phil gave the tickets away to some father and son.

was just reading in a magazine - a preview for the FBR, said that the 18th was "a tough closing hole, with water skirting the left side and a landing area between two fairway bunkers.

"Balls" didn't see any of those obstacles! what a bomber. ryder cup material?

I didn't know that... That is cool of him... I was way off in trying to read him by his face... I must be used to seeing a huge smile on his face even though he has to potential to lose.

Wasn't there a story a while back about Holmes and Funk teeing off on one such hole? Holmes' caddy said something like "The water stops 280 yards out; it isn't even in play for you," while Funk was thinking "it's still in play for me."

      My Swing (Ty_Webb)

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      Got told off yesterday for doing full swings and full speed swings so went to the range this lunchtime and did some slow speed stuff and freezers. A few videos from my session.    First few are DTL then some FO This one is of me looking at the club on the way back. I think I get my arms lifting all the way back, not that you’d know because YouTube keeps glitching on me.    Second one is two slow backswings. This glitches the first one but the glitch looks like a pretty good position so I’ll live. Second one works. Then another swing back and hit. When I’m not watching or really focusing on it it seems that my upper arm doesn’t lift at first, rather stays roughly where it is and I add the lift at the end so the club comes a bit more inside. I think that’s what I’m going to focus on. This one glitches a bit too but it’s really just pausing. This shows the club coming a bit more inside but not as laid off at the top Then a couple of face on ones And lastly one smoothie and one freezer at normal speed  Quite happy with how this went. I can see my arms are better when I take it slower. Also while I’m still pitching my arms out it doesn’t seem to be as extreme as yesterday. Light at the end of the tunnel 🙂
