Phil could have done what Payne Stewart did to him in 1999. Pitch out, hit a wedge into the green and make a goddamned putt for par, tap it in if you miss.

This Open will be remembered for Phil's Vesuvius-level blowup, and Monty's piss chili dip chunk iron shot. Ogilvy will go down as an afterthought in people's minds, but the champion in the record books.
Strange game golf is, the cruelest of all games.
