that was a better finish than i expected. too bad duval couldn't pull it out.

 

i also wonder what happened to tiger's putter. he missed a bunch of putts he normally makes. i think on any other weekend, he wins this by 5+ strokes.

 

Not a bad finish. I was pulling for Mickelson, but Glover is a deserving winner. And yes, Tiger needs to fire his putter. It's not doing the job for him.

 

Wanted Glover,Duval and Mickelson in a playoff.Eighteen more holes of intense Golf would have been fun to watch.Have to hand to Glover though.He kept his cool and played the last hole very smart going with a mid-iron off the Tee.

 

glover won with some nike proto-type putter. why the hell didn't tiger have one in his bag?

 

Nice to see an unknown win. It keeps you wondering. I am sure NBC hated it however. Not showing Tiger on the last round always hurts ratings. I think Tiger thought he had to just show up and carry off the trophy since his impressive win at the Memorial.

 

Tiger's been loyal to his Scotty Cameron putter since his amateur days. Pretty sure he's not getting any endorsement dollars from Titleist for carrying it around.

TW definitely wasn't putting too well, but his real issue was the fact that he wasn't hitting his approach shots to "gimme" distance most of the time. There were way too many times when he was in the fairway or a good lie in the rough with 150 yards or less to the pin, and he ended up with a putt 15 feet or further away.

Congrats to Glover. Too bad for Barnes & Duval. Either of those guys would've made an interesting story of "redemption" if they'd won.

 

Surprised no one touched on lefty choking yet again. He had it in the bag if it went to a playoff. I am more disappointed in Phil's final round than Tiger's.

 

For all of Phil's prowess on the greens, he misses an inordinate amount of short putts IMO when the pressure's on. It almost seems like he's more comfortable over the 30 or 40 footers that have 6 feet of break rather than the 3-4 footers that are playing a ball or two outside.

Phil sucks as a clutch putter, esp. when compared to Tiger.

 

I agree that Phil isn't the best putter when the pressure is on. But he is very consistent when it comes to tournament play. I would have loved to see him win this one, but it wasn't in the cards. I think he will win eventually..hopefully sooner than later. I recently bought a fancy odyssey black putter.....hasn't helped me one bit.
