    Phil did not back up, and outside Sergio's phenomenal round there were no great scores today , -2 was the best score in the top 12 finishers and only 2 golfers went that low so even par was not a bad score at all....both Keegan and Phil even as did DJ and a few others


    The difference last week with Tiger when he started in 2nd or 3rd was that he went backwards on a course where the scoring was better

    at the end of the day Phil might have hit some better shots today and won but after 72 holes he was tied for the lead.

        World #1 shot a 78 today.

        Not a very good season debut.

        Would like TGC to do an indepth analysis...

            Haas got really lucky, no other way to put it. I bet if he hit that putt 100 times he might sink it once not to mention that his drive could have been stuck behind a tree.

              You need luck to win. Was Phil lucky when he sunk the putt on 18 to force the playoff?
              For much of the final round it looked like no one could do anything. The greens must have been very tough, since there were so many missed short putts. The last few holes and the playoff were great.
              I am starting to like Bill Haas, he is gaining experience and learning to win some big events.

                Phil was -9 for the tourny after 6....then went bogey bogey. Isn't that backing up?

                From my subjective view - he blew it.

                  You want to talk about who lost the tournament? Dustin Johnson's short approaches lost it for him. I get disappointed watching such a great long game get decimated by poor play (for a PGA pro) from 130 and in.

                    Gotta agree with this. DJ hit some horrendous shots today from inside 120y. Remove 2-3 of those horrendous shots and DJ wins the tournament. There's very few excuses for missing the green from 115 at that level.

                    I'm not a Haas fan (dude bores me to death and lacks personality) but he won the tournament outright. He made the putt when he needed to and that's really all that mattered.

                      DJ Lost the event? are we kidding, every golfer in the event can say if I hit a couple of shots differently - outcomes would be different.

                      But Phil had a 2 shot lead at his score was minus 9, the score to get into the playoff was -7. Phil lead all week, he blew it.

                        The pace of play has been getting slower over the last few years, "molasses" is not the only one but he stood out to me today when he took more than 2 minutes to play his 2nd shot on #2.

                        If any of us ever had a putt for $100,000 we may understand that a bit better....
                        They have been playing for big $$ for more than 10 years, the pace was not as slow then as it is now.

                        His antics are annoying, he needs a much quicker pre shot routine.

                        Bradley is killing me!! It's like Sergio from the US Open at Bethpage. Waggle waggle waggle, back off check my target waggle waggle waggle, back off check my target, and repeat. I can understand doing this on one or two shots from time to time as some shots just don't feel right but he's doing it way too much. Faldo even chirped him a few minutes ago saying he hoped he didn't do this at Augusta.
                        I think when Sergio was going through the waggle period that was worse but I can see the day when "Molasses" gets even slower.

Shut up Jim, my brain is gonna explode....I'd much rather hear Sir Nick talk about GOLF!!!
                          Nantz started to annoy me a couple of years back when the golf telecast starts with him saying "hello friends or welcome friends", this is like Vin Scully used to do. Jim we are not your friends, we came to watch the golf, his anecdotes add nothing to what we are watching . . . he needs to shut up.

                            Having said all that ^^^^, the finish on 18 with Phil and Molasses making birdies to get to the playoff was great. I am not sure what Bill Haas would have been thinking listening to those roars.

                            Bills' putt on #10 was a great way to finish it off, happy to see him win.

                            Phil did not look great on the weekend, he was far away from his last round at Pebble. Keegan "Molasses" Bradley has a lot of talent, that is obvious, he needs to speed up and clean up the spitting . . . I am dreading watching him on the greens at Augusta.

                              I guess you can handpick a snapshot of his round to justify your point, but then by the same logic any time any player makes a bogey or worse they would be deemed to have backed up .......

                              by your logic, unless somebody plays a bogey free round then at some point they backed up

                              To be fair to Phil, I look at the whole round ..........he started -7, ended -7 and par was not a bad score out there yesterday as ~80% of the field shot par or worse

                                I'm not a Phil fan but lets be fair, Phil played 4 solid rounds, Both he and Keegan Bradley enterred the final round tied at -7.....they played some of the better golf of the field today as I previously noted with the scoring on Sunday.

                                Phil and Keegan are not the first nor will they be the last players to not win a tournament heading into the final round with the lead............

                                I bet if you look at the stats for final round leaders winning the percentage is not that high, I'm guessing less than 40%.

                                Bill Hass deserves credit for shooting a sub par round and getting in the playoff, he drained an unlikely 45 footer to win , but that's golf.

                                and for the record he was -8 after 10 and -6 after 13 so backed up as well


                                it's not the debacle we saw out of Tiger last Sunday so stop trying to bring Phil down to Tiger's level
