The drive on 18 may have been worse than the others,but a severe choke would be if he had been hitting it straight off the tee,and then came to 18,and hit it awful off the tee.I guess what I am telling you is that( to me)you have to be doing something well(to begin with)in order to choke.A real choke is like what the Mavs did.They won three straight series with great shooting ,and good defense.They won the 1st 2 games of the Championship by doing the same.Then they have a nice lead in the 2nd half of game three,and find a way to blow it.They choked all the way from there on in.They had a good lead last nite in the 1st half,but they did what(may I ask?)...shoot bricks long enough to get caught.That is a choke(going from very good shooting ,to bad shooting.)

Ego and Stupidity is what it was, he's too seasoned under pressure to choke.

Yes,I think it was more ego and stupidity than a choke.See,he is use to getting out of trouble with his 2nd shots.So,he wasn't worried as much about a bad tee shot as a normal golfer would be(he usually gets away with it.)As you can see by his manbreasts,this guy has self-discipline issues,and instead of pitching out onto the fairway,I think he let his gambling side of his personality take him in the wrong direction.This is why this guy is so popular(he is mad talented with a gamblin' jonz to go with it.)

Any golfer with half a brain in that situation hits a fairway wood or long iron off the tee. No ifs, ands or buts.

I forget which thread I posted it on, but I said the same thing.

2 iron + 6 iron + putt + putt = Trophy

Driver + tent + tree + beach = Big fat Phil's Tincup finish.

I agree about choking and being talented. Greg Norman choked away the Masters back in 97 and at the time was one of the best 3 players in the world. He was expected to win not only because he had like a 4-5 shot lead going into the final round, but because he was talented as hell.

I dont care what club Phil uses, he is suppose to be able to hit a driver straight. Take something off of it, aim extra right to compensate for the right to left ball flight, but damn dont push it 60 yards to the left.

I know he stupidly selected the wrong club, but that aside, hit the darn ball straight! He could probably hit that shot straight 90 of 100 times on the range.

Phil flat out choked and hit one of the worst tee shots of his life in a moment he needed to nothing but hit any iron or wood 230 yards straight.
