Highlights of Phil’s round including the magic wedge from about 140 away
My DVR ran out of space right before the final wedge and I missed highlights on Golf Central. I finally found the shot on youtube.com. Thank gawd for the internet!
Was Mickelson’s shot really that miraculous? Sure he got it over some trees but was it really that tough to pull off? It’s tough to tell when watching on tv. Given the circumstances it was a good shot but I’m not convinced it was a tough shot.
Btw, there sure is a lot of hype about Tiger’s return after knee surgery. Everyone, including Tiger, is predicting that he’ll win the US Open. Tiger doesn’t have a chance in hell of winning the U.S. Open. All that time away from competition is going to kill him. Won’t everyone feel foolish about all the b.s. hype after it’s over.

Tiger’s shot on 13 ultimately did him in
Woods pulled off a miraculous shot at 13 which gave him the confidence to try what would have been an even more miraculous shot at 15, a slice 5 iron from 228 yards. The shot on 15 turn out to be ill advised. He did save par but in reality a par on 15 is a bogey especially when you are 3 behind at the time.
2007 Masters: A complete bore
Besides the lousy announcers (Faldo excluded), the 2007 Masters was a complete bore. Sure there was a little intrigue with Tiger trying to fight his troubled swing and come from three behind, but Masters tournament organizers had made the course so tough that the back nine on Sunday (typically the most exciting 9 holes of golf) was devoid of excitement. Where were the slew of birdies and eagles that allowed competitors to make a final 9 charge?
Granted Woods did have a back nine eagle and then completely blew it on 15 going for another, there were no other notable fireworks. Perhaps Masters tournament geniuses will figure it out next year and bring back the opportunity for the most exciting nine holes in golf.
