When his shot out of the bunker crossed the green and ended up in the high grass, they put the camera on Ogilvey, who was dead pan. But his wife, sitting at his side, made a huge face and started laughing. Sheila needs to learn a little golf demeanor, LOL.
As I said on another thread, he deserves a heckuva lot of credit for even being in contention considering his performance off the tee in rounds three and four. He went to the well one too many times however.
Agree.
Here's an interesting thought. Rick Smith and Dave Pelz are Phil's swing and short-game coach, respectively. Which one of them earned their money the most for Phil's performance over the weekend? I say Pelz. I'm very surprised that Smith couldn't work the hitch out of Mickelson's driver.
I hope no one has taken my comments wrong... I'm a Phil fan. I find it refreshing that guys like Phil and Tiger blame no one but themselves when they screw up.
Monty choked too. I like the U.S. Open because on any other course Phil simply needing to par the last three holes would have been easy.
I like it when the pros aren't even sure if they can par ( or bogey) 18 to win a tournament.
Pretty much any club in my bag...
A lot of people 'in the know' picked Ogilvy. Something about the way he kicked everybody's butt in the Accenture, including Tiger. He's a class act that doesn't whine, just steps up and hits it.
I like Phil but it looks like he still reverts to his old brain dead self under pressure.
I wish I could have been his caddy. I'd have broken his driver into 4 pieces....before he hit it!
4 metal or 2 iron was the only shot called for.
