hacking away everyday.
I would lay up and try for my par or a lucky birdie. No point in trying to go for it.,

When I saw him pull driver I immediately thought of the trouble lurking left and long. His wedge game is stong, his 4 iron or 5 wood would've been the prudent play. That being said, landing on downslope of that knoll like he did was extremely unlucky. Tip of the cap to Mats for a hell of run down the stretch. Sunk some pressure putts.I think that if I had a wedge game like Rickie's I would have laid up to my favorite wedge yardage. Even if that meant hitting and iron off the tee. Chances are if he did that he would be looking at par at worst.
I don't fault him, if the shot had worked out and he was somewhere in the middle of the green he would have had an excellent chance at birdie to put the tournament away.
I would have laid up. As a pro, he had a great chance at birdie with a short wedge. I don't understand what he was thinking.
The idea of a reachable par 4 is so foreign to me that I have absolutely no idea what I'd do.
Hi. My question assumes you can drive it on the green.
Par par would of still put him in the playoff... he had a bogey/birdie to make the playoff...with the lead he had he should have been hitting 5 iron just short of the bunker and hitting full wedge....par/par finish wins the tournament
I'm laying up all day.
Ricky, I don't blame him at all. i am positive he was possessed by the angry spirit of a young Phil Mickelson, and had no control over his own actions.
Wait, wait, I misread the question. If I'M playing that hole, I slice my driver a solid 180 down the right side, pull a short iron to get to the green, get scared of the water, chunk the short iron, grab a wedge, walk the 18 yards to the ball, get scared of the water again, hit it up on the fringe, then 3-put from 52 feet away.
I see you're modeling your game after mine. You could have chosen a much better mentor.
