Scuds, it's not because he has the talent to do crazy stuff, it's because he has the stupidity (and guts) to try the crazy shots and that is why the average golfer likes him, because they like to try crazy stuff too. There are tons of guys on tour that can hit the same kind of crazy shots that Phil can, they just choose not to and play more conservatively.

How many of Phils peers on tour marvel at the way he hits the ball? I have never heard any of them say anything. How many times to you hear those same guys marvel at the way Tiger hits the ball? Quite a bit...
