if that's not a choke job i don't know what is


borderline, if he did choke it was on his 2nd shot, he had to be in the fairway for his 3rd. The shot from behind the green was extremely difficult and he had to get it close to have a chance...not executing improbable shots isn't really chocking.

So, Tiger now has now finished top ten in 19 of his past 20 tournaments.

I'm pretty sure that the next closest number of top tens is 9 by Phil. And, Phil has played in something like 50 tournaments to get his 9 top tens.

Pretty amazing.

Tiger Woods is consistently the most focused golfer I've seen.

Will Padraig ever recover? That was pretty epic.

A top 5 golfer shouldn't triple the 16th on Sunday when he has a lead. period.

We'll find out in 4 days when he is paired with Woods again. I don't think this will rattle Harrington, though. He knows he played a good round and really only hit 2 bad shots, both on the same hole.

Padraig isn't top 5 on any list this year. Not even close.

he's pretty resilient, I've seen him play several times and there probably isn't a player on tour that gets more out of his game than Harrington does, nothing looks like it comes natural. Of course he probably practices more than most of them too.

Padraig won 3 of the last 10 majors. How is he not one of the best golfers?
In fact, he won more majors over the last two and a half years then Tiger.
Nice one.

Padraig is the latest in a long line of golfers who after winning a major or two decide it's time to revamp their swing. Why? I've never been able to figure it out.

65 65 at firestone on the weekend is incredible. I don't care who played or who choked. 70 wins at age 33 is one of the most impressive stats in sports history.

he has as many majors as Phil, same as Vijay, same as Els and more than Goose. That makes him a top 5 player just based on that

He's played like shite this year, but he has too much talent not to come around
