I'm hoping Phil can keep it together and win this thang!

He's kinda been flirting with disaster today, but has been able to make his pars.

The "V" on Tiger's hat must be for vagina. His second best skill.

actually according to the 21 y/o chick he was very mechanical and not very good. Just because he's got money and power, doesn't mean he's got skill in the sack.

And the best part is, all these whores sleep with him in the hopes of getting $$, and he ends up sending them all over the country in coach, and the biggest "gift" he got for a chick was a turkey wrap from Subway.

Tiger, the cheap bastard who makes women think they'll get $$ from him!

If that one chick didn't have the abortion she would have cashed in, how stupid can you be to abort Tiger's baby!
 
Is Phil Mickelson the Andre Agassi of Golf? a true elite but taking the back seat to better players?

yes, in my analogy, phil would be to tiger and andre is to pete sampras.

The Tournament organizers wont let gameplay become a circus.

The club is privately owned and tightly controls all media and spectator access

Anyone who makes noise or does anything to distract a golfer, i guarantee you, will be banned and their ticket revoked.

Off the course, no doubt, it will be a media circus.

This, I've been there and they don't fuck around, if you even ATTEMPT to bring in a cell or camera your "credentials" are permanently revoked and your done and out for good. Since Masters tickets are among the hardest to get most everyone plays by the rules..

It's pretty apt. In terms of making shots with an iron/wedge, it's Tiger and Phil and everyone else is WAY down the list. It's hard to judge who is actually better. Tiger certainly executes on a more consistent basis, but Phil may have a better arsenal of shots, especially inside 150 yards.

The problems with Phil have always been putting (at times) and course management (a lot).

Even today, Phil went for the green on 15? (or 13) from behind a tree on his second shot. It was an INCREDIBLE shot, but considering the score at the time it just wasn't necessary. If that shot's a foot shorter it could have cost him the tournament, and in the end he gained nothing from laying up (he probably would have birdied anyways considering how good he is with wedges). He's lost a lot of tournaments that way.

Tiger's known for making those shots too, but he only makes them when he has to. Watch Tiger playing with a lead and you'll see him going for the centre of every green, figuring if he makes 1/2 20 footers the tournament's in the bag, and he won't bogey. Tiger is also a much better putter, which goes a long way.

So yeah, I think Phil is definitely elite, and at least right now might be the most talented shot maker in golf (especially with a wedge). He's just not able to control the aggression/creativity when he needs to, and ran into a guy who dominates the game like no one has dominated any sport ever.

It was the 13th and Phil said that if he was going in between two trees for a layup, might as well go in between the trees for the hole with a 6iron.
