Gander,if Phil had been hitting fairways all day,then I would agree that he choked.To me,the tee shot on 18 was not that different than many of the ****ty drives he had on Sunday.I really felt like the rest of them were choking by not taking advantage of the fact he was struggling off the tee.He failed to win something that I really don't think he was playing well enough to expect to win.Driving the ball that way on a U.S. Open Course shoulding result in winning it,and I think it is good for the game that he didn't win it while hitting it sideways the whole last round.

I dont agree. That tee shot on 18 missed by 60-70 yards, maybe more. It was a complete yank. Check out his face when he hit it. I have played enough golf to know what a pull looks like and feels like, that was a huge "push".

He missed a lot of other fairways, true, but some of his tee shots didnt miss the fairways by all that much. Some got unlucky bounces and landed in the first cut of rough. That shot on 18 was not the same, that was a complete "push" in every sense of the word.
