Kev, Choi is good, but is swinging a knife while others are swinging an axe. What you mentioned is a power deficiency. On 17, Choi made a fairly long putt for birdie. The long hitters don't usually have those long putts for birdie on par 5 holes(they have them to make Eagle.) Choi should of been making birdie on the 1st hole(both days,) but it would only have tied Phil. Lack of power is a pretty strong handicap(nothing personal.)

scuds here is where you are wrong - only 3 players in the field reached #17 in 2 yesterday (COUPLES AND PHIL) and 1 other guy

choi can reach #1 in 2 every day , for some reason he didn't birdie that hole on the weekend phil played it in 4 under - thers is the diffference in the tourney right there - execution not lack of power
