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.

Naw Buddy, it really wasn't a choke, it was his big fat ego or the heat, I dunno. But WTF are you doing hitting driver on that hole, didn't he have enough of a scare the last hole where he had to make a difficult cut shot to make par? Geez, was it Johnny Miller that said "Ben Hogan has offically rolled over in his grave"? It was the old "Tincup Phil" always going for it. Nobody to blame but himself.
