gander - to be fair - you have to put Monty in there

for god's sake - he probably hits the green and makes 4 from where he was in the fairway 85 out 100 times

he probably makes a double from where he was on the 18 th fairway maybe 1 time out of 100!!!! maybe 1 out of 500. As big a choke as mickelson had , where monty was on 18 he blew it big time

Nah, nobody expected Monty to win. He was never clearly in front at any point like Phil was and he didnt have a 1 shot lead on the tee on 18.
As bad as Monty botched 18, nobody really expected him to win anyways.

Phil is coming off 2 straight major wins, is clearly the best player in the world right now and has a 2 shot lead with 3 holes left, 1 shot lead on 18, a hole he parred all 3 days prior.

Perfect Drift blows by the serious overbet contenders and opens up on the field. While he is not expected to win before the race he certainly is at the 1/16th pole with that kind of lead.

Yankees are the most successful organization in the history of sports, Nationals are barely one level up from a minor league team. They lead 9-2, suppose to win!

he was tied when he was on 18. he hit a perfect drive and jsut toally collapsed-

at least phil can go where his green jacket tonight

this guy is one of the best iron players in the world still - and he totally blew it, i mean even GPK would have to admit , monty's 6 was almost unthinkable from the middle of the fairway

even after he chips on - if he two putts at least he get into a playoff - phil collapsed no question, but from where monty was- his was worse

Monty is now 0 for 96 in tournaments played in the US. Thats just amazing to me, with his game. Sorry he didnt choke as bad as Phil. That brought back memories of Phil from before he won his 1st Masters, when he choked in so many majors.

Egggad, I feel sorry for him, thats a tough way to lose.
