I didn't see the Saturday round, but you are dead on, however, here's where I differ:
Any time you have a forced carry, never try to step off and hit a cut. Always go one club shorter and just nuke the ****er, unless there is no way you can get away with the shot shape. 12 sets up perfect for a lefty draw. He should just aim 15 feet left of the hole and let the shot shape and his trajectory move it close to the hole and kill it dead.
The putts on 15 and 17 were brutal, though. Nevertheless, of any of the guys in contention, he played by far the best. You can't sustain that kind of play for the first 8 holes over 18.
Phil hits his irons a long way. Obliterating a wedge is the play for him there, as the wind was soft today.
Glad the Duck pulled it out. He looks like a good guy to go drinking with.

Yeah Phil did play great...after he shot the 30 on the front nine, I honestly thought he was going to shoot 63 or 62 because he had been tearing the back 9 up, esp. the par 5's.
The tee shot on 12 killed me though...when he stepped up to the tee, I was saying to myself to just hit the shot you hit in 2004 which was perfect and spurred him on to win the tourney. The tee shot was bad but I think it was the fact that he didn't make a 4 that really killed him. A bogey there isn't the end of the world but a double is just a momentum killer.
Ah well, I can take solace in the fact that he beat Eldrick and basically one upped him at every turn.
You know that had to kill Tiger inside and his douchebag caddie...I loved it.
LOL I wonder how many nightmares Perry had last night about those two putrid iron shots to 18 and 10 in the playoff...he played it off yesterday but you just know it had to be killing him inside.
