If anyone can louse up a golf tournament, it's Mickelson and he did this one in true dysfunctional style. Didn't one of those shots on 18 go into a trash can? Or hit it? What can I say? The symbology says it all. The guy needs a shrink.
Meanwhile, Ogilvy deserves a lot of credit for keeping his cool while all about him icons and titans were crashing and burning. He clearly has what it takes to be a champion and I'm miffed that the idiot media led by that mental midget Costa is bashing him for winning by default. To blow my own horn a bit, I picked Ogilvy as the winner on Saturday. Something about those eyes. I like Ferrie too...he played an excellent game, all things considered, and I look forward to (hopefully) watching him develop.
Was disappointed that three biggies didn't even make the cut: Tiger, Goosen, and Garcia. Winged Foot is more like Broken Wings.
What was Tiger thinking making Winged Foot the first course he's competitively played on for the last few months?
He needed a warm-up tournament before tackling Winged Foot. Now he's only got two rounds under his belt.
That was on 16 or 17 (the latter, I think). Free drop out of the trash bag -- clearly a "temporary movable obstruction" if there ever was one.
You know how some fans watch NASCAR just for the wrecks?
Same thing...
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.
