A Great Day Turned Sour
Sunday afternoon was turning into a great day on the PGA Tour from my viewpoint. In the midst of the final round at Riviera, Philly Mick was choking like a dog (I am not a big Phil phan), and the tour’s number one Cheesehead, Steve Stricker had roared into the lead on the wave of a great round.
Then, Stevie left a birdie at 17 two inches short.
Phil found his mojo and began pounding his dastardly driver and 3 wood off the tee – into the middle of the fairway (previously unknown territory for the Philmeister).
And Steve pulled a drive on 18, put his approach short right, chipped up – and missed the putt for par.
Phil still had a chance to choke, but hit two clutch putts on 17 and 18 to hang on to the win.
Life changes so fast, you know?
My only hope is that Phil loses 9 and 8 in the first round of the match play tomorrow. Or, even better, he gets to the semis, meets Tiger, and can’t show up to the first tee due to a severe case of the Shakes, also known as Tiger Scratch Fever.
