Just a thought but Phil is struggling today after Tiger drops out.
Does Phil need Tiger?

I dont think so. In the last 5 tournaments they have both been in together, it is a onesided mess with Phil dominating Tiger. The fact taht Tiger is still number 1 is fairly absurd. He was himself in glimpses last year over a brief stretch, but its been close to 18 months.

He went on to say that it was not Tiger, it was competition. And that all great golfers thrive on it.

Sean Foley could do alot with Tigers swing aswell. That man is just powerpacked with information on all subjects including golf. He is actually one of my biggest heroes.

No, Phil just needs to just stop with the gimmicks and the circus shots and just play smart golf.

what exactly do you mean? while agree that phil's course management isn't the best, i'm not sure i'm following you with the gimmick thing.

Phil was out of contention heading into the day. I wouldn't put any stock in now he fared after Tiger withdrew. Naturally the NBC and Golf Channel announcers hyped Phil's opportunity but bottom line he was a massive underdog, trailing 10 guys and 5 shots back of the leader.
Phil needed to get to -11 on Saturday. Even without the bogey on #18 he would have been in bad mathematical shape at -10, but with the closing bogey you could sense he understood the long odds, and was somewhat deflated. I expected a mediocre final round from Phil. It was a bit worse than that.
If Phil needs Tiger for a boost, he better get beyond that in a hurry. Might not happen for a while.

yeah I'm cuirious too what you mean about gimmicks? I'll agree he takes way too many chances at times but gimmicks?

I noticed this as well. He was on the ninth hole at eight shots back, and they were saying "he needs to make this birdie putt to get into contention." ???
Carrying 2 drivers and a 64* wedge, for example.

The guy just won the Masters, is on the verge of being the #1 golfer in the world, and we are going to 2nd guess his decisions on equipment and call them gimmicky? Im still not sure I know what the problem is with a 64* wedge if it works for someone at that level.

A few years back (a decade or so) people thought it was crazy to carry 4 wedges and now tour pros do it round after round. It is all about playing to gaps and strengths, I dont find that gimmicky at all.

the two drivers i could agree with but not the 64* wedge. the guy's the best wedge player in the last decade.

Did we not forget that he won both tourney's with the 2 drivers in the bag? Personally, I'll carry 3 drivers in my bag if it meant winning a tournament. But hey, to each his own.

Just think if Phil could find the fairway with one of his drivers! He'd be number 1 already.
Did SuperMan need Lex Luthor, did Batman need Joker. I know that's a little harsh and silly, but it's true, all competing duos need the other.
Absolutely.
