and PHIL will be out in a few hours--making his 600th start on the PGA tour.

The question in my mind today is whether PHIL will top Mark Brook's 803 starts. One might wonder how Mark Brooks got this record--must have played a lot more golf year in and year out then PHIL. I personally doubt PHIL gets to 803 PGA starts but who knows? Either way its stunning for PHIL to have 600 starts

Farthest drive, in the fairway, and can't even get it on the green, furthest away, ugh.

I can't believe....he 3-jacked that one? Best drive, closest to the hole, in the fairway, doesn't get on (fringe), and 3 more to get in? He's playing stupid golf.

What a disappointing round for Phil.

Kind of makes the rest of this tournament irrelevant.

Moral of the story: Don't play three weeks in a row anymore!

Gee, I thought he was going to bogie the par-5 to make it 4 in a row, but he salvaged par.

Must be weird, one guy in the group is at the top of the leaderboard (DJ) and another is at the bottom (Phil). What's wrong with him, can't hit a shot today?

Phil didnt take his own advice. He was supposed to limit the scheduling to be sharp and fresh. 4 in a row is too much. Plus the last 2 tournaments were long and drawn out with delays. Riveria wasn't originally on his schedule until he missed the cut Waste Management. . He should have WD Riveria after he won at Pebble but probably didnt because it would have looked bad. I think the fans would understand but with press you never know. As a result he is paying the price this week.

It could also be he is not adjusting to shot making at >7000 ft elevation that is supposed to give 15% greater distances, so he could be errantly over-/under-estimating, hit or miss.

And I don't get Speith…. he and his caddy have been close since he started on tour. His caddy's dad passes away while he's at the tournament, and he simply says....see ya when you get back? I thought there was not much compassion there; thought he might have gone to funeral in support. That was awkward....unless its not likely to occur till after the tournament.

The two previous times Phil played this course was a win and a 7th place. He should know the elevation distances. I think hes just tired and isnt pulling off the shots.
Bryson didnt make a birdie and was plus 4 . He was practicing in the dark after the round.
All I know is after the Ryder cup if you has said Phil would have a victory and a 2nd place on the west coadtvswing we would have said wishful thinking.
I hope he can figure out scheduling to peak at the majors.
