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. |
Funny thing: Phil hit a 3/4 8 iron in 2004 into that pin. Yesterday he hit a stock 9. He didn't make a bad course management error, as he said, he just made a poor swing. It looked like he was trying to hit a knockdown, and that's what I thought and posted earlier, but he really just made a poor swing and it cost him.
Shit like that will happen, it just sucks it happened on 12, because that's the worst place on the course to hit a poor approach.
