GPK is that was you and you were leaking oil all day with the driver and i know you can nut the 3 metal , i'm taking the driver out of your hand
btw if the tents aren't there on 18 - with his drive being so bad , on a normal day he would have been in the middled of the fairway on the east course #11 and probably made 4 or at worst 5 from there

I will never say anything about Phil choking. I have played this game at a high enough level to know how difficult it is under pressure. Phil play bravely all week...as did many others. I was happy to score on Olgivy at 18-1 after the first round.
You and I know how important the role of a caddie is. I have caddied in women's major championships, I understand the pressure involved. Jimmy letting Phil hit driver on 18 ranks right up there with Van De Veldes caddy letting him hit driver with a 3 shot lead at Carnoustie. But honestly, when push comes to shove, its is always the players final decision. If Phil isn't intelligent enough to know what to do in that situation, he doesn't deserve to win. He has played in what? 50 majors, he should know what to do.
