Waste Management 1st round 2016

PHIL will be out in a couple of hours

Let's go PHIL

Phil is on deck!! Oh well, I can't keep track today, going to visit pet food manufacturer about food pathogen problems in pet foods, lol. Big issues lately....people are acquiring Salmonellosis from Salmonella-contaminated dry pet food treats they give their pets; FDA is coming down on the manufacturers, and they're starting to sample pet foods/treats! Wash your hands when you give your dog/cat treats, you never know!

Phil with a good drive and good second shot at 10...has 10 feet for birdie.

Phil missed the birdie at 10, but hit his second on 11 (160+ yards) to 4-5 feet and made the putt.

-1

comfortable two putt par at the par three 12th

still -1 with the par 5 coming up

My son and also my sister-in-law had seriously ill dogs from giving treats they tracked down to having been made in China. They were expensive, organic, blah blah. When they pushed to find the mfg. and not just the distributor, they found that they'd been made in China and were poisonous. Good thing you're doing Bulls.
About Phil, --has anyone heard if he's gotten his swing back in check. I have not heard any discussion of how badly he lost it at the end of Friday's round last week--anyone else heard anything? At least his coach should be close by. So far so good.

Driver looks really good thus far as Phil hits his third consecutive fairway to start the round.

Phil from 251, hits it to 3 feet and taps in for EAGLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

-3 and tied for first!

Phil is slacking...his second on the par 5 15th is a whole 24 feet away.

Can he eagle two par fives in a row?

birdie at 15

-4 and tied for 1st

had a good shot at 16 (should have been cheered, not booed) but missed the 16 footer for birdie. Made par and is -4 (t2) heading to the short par 4 17th.

wow and a bird an eagle!!!!

Another bird and another missed birdie putt--very solid golf

Of course he started this way last week.

Makes 9 footer for birdie at 17!

-5 and t1 (with Fowler)

I sure hope he can keep this play going!

-5 with one eagle putt of 25 plus 3 more of 16 feet that did not fall

Wow what a front 9

big time 9 footer for par at 1!

still -5 and t1

Bunch of pars in a role--some good shots putts did not fall

Not sure if he gets tired or loses focus, but he has trouble closing out around. Seems to lose it.

He struck the ball so well on the front nine, not so much on the back. Likely double coming up here. Could be digging himself a deep hole.

Three putt triple, you can pretty much forget this week with the way he's finishing this round.

Looks like he's attempting to give it all back! Must be very frustrating for him. Actually, I think it's going to take his new swing longer than he thinks to become second nature. His coach said he was ahead of schedule. Perhaps not.

#5 is the hardest hole on the golf course and now we know why

ouch!!! triple

Bird and -2 coulda shoulda but solid except for one shot.

birdie at 18 to finish -2

Don't know what to think at this point. Is Phil just fading at the end of every round? Or was this just a matter of one bad tee shot?

In any event, not a horrible round.
