I felt for him after the tournament. We can all second guess shots we've hit, and you know that's what he'll do for driver off of 17. Who would have thought he would have smashed it the way he did, have it fly off the downslope and run so much? I can't believe with his length he couldn't muscle up a 3 wood and carry the bunker there.
He's as good of a guy on Tour as there is. This won't be his last chance for a win on Tour this year, no way.
I think he proved in the playoff why he picked driver in regulation. He knew the 3 wood had a decent chance of turning over, and it made sense to go with what was working.
Unlucky, and disappointing, for sure. Despite his incredible birdies to end and during the playoff, I think his fate was defined by that missed putt on 16. That would have put everything out of reach.
