after a horrible start Phil got it back to -1, but what was he thinking on 18 ? he had no shot under those trees,but went for it anyway.. settling for a bogey there would have been alot better option then an impossible shot.. rooting for Day big time with my 52/1 bet..With Tiger being behind so many players, I see him taking more chances then normal tommorrow to get back in it. He has nothing to lose IMO..
also have Scott 18/1
Phil 16/1
Rose 38/1
Snedeker 28/1
Johnson 40/1
a few other props too
I didn't see Phil on 18. If your talking about Tiger on 18, I really have no idea what he was thinking unless he thought for sure he could cut it a lot more than that, idk. Short sided himself and the whole bit, def one of the dumber shots I've remember from him being it was the first round and all.......hopefully they toughen the course up tomorrow and he plays well or he is prob out of it
He tried pulling off a shot that was obviously near impossible. He had a tree in front of him and had to hit it low out of the rough through about a 4 foot window and no more than 5 feet high. It was a 50-1 shot, even for Phil. He ended up hitting the ball way too high, it wasn't even close. It hit the tree and dropped straight down and then he had no shot at all. So he hit it back to the fairway like he should have done the first time. At least if he had hit it out on his second shot, with his short game he had a chance to get it up and down for a par. It was the worst decision by him that I've seen in a couple years. I thought he had put at least some of his bad course management behind him in the last couple of years. But it reared it's ugly head again today..
I don't agree with it either given what I saw in front of him. Phil always thinks he can do more than he really can. It's gotten him in trouble many times in these majors. So what's wrong with hitting a 4 iron to a soft green? Phil is a high ball hitter. It shouldn't have been that big of a problem for him.
