Okay, here is a place for the Golfers to talk about tournaments, clubs, swing help or thoughts.
Today is the Players Championship, which I think ought to be the 5th Major. Largest pot in the PGA. The daunting 17th, which seems to bring excitement every year. At least we will get to see Sergio blow up yet again.
Phil was really unlucky to bogey that hole. He hit two excellent shots only to have the second run through into an absolutely impossible lie. He played the last 12 holes about as well as you could expect on that course.
He's hit the ball so well this week that he'd have the tournament by the balls if just a few more putts would have dropped. He putted a lot better on the second nine, but he wasn't getting a ton of those to drop. The putts on 15, 16, and 18 were all pure but either burned the edge or lacked a rotation of speed.
I was expecting Donald to shit himself like that all day. It's unsurprising to see he's still the guy who would rather finish fifth than win.
Mahan has an excellent chance tomorrow. He is probably the best driver of the golf ball alive, but I wouldn't trust him over a six footer.
I think the +3s and better have a theoretical shot, but the course is so hard and the leaderboard so good that I'd almost guarantee +1 or better wins.
I just hope that after so many disappointments that Phil finally earns his redemption. [Reply]
Thinking Phil wins finally. He's just got to restrict the stupid thing he does today to something small rather than something large and it should be his.
If not him, I could see Charl doing it. Been playing well all week and the pressure shouldn't be too much for him to handle. Don't think Donald or Rose have the guts to pull off a win like this. [Reply]
Furthermore... Luke Donald just beaned a tee shot into a female volunteer's head. Now completely stuck behind a giant bush with no visible path to the green. Today is going to be brutal. [Reply]
