He's seems to be spinning the ball too much. now anot her long birdie try.

by j58golf Thu Mar 31, 2016 12:41 pm

Another penalty. Phil is really off.

3 balls in water but saves par so that's good. Announcers keep saying scoring conditions perfect.

10 feet for birdie at 5...outside of the tap in, first legitimate chance at birdie all day

by anabaptistman Thu Mar 31, 2016 1:04 pm

Got it! Birdie at 5

-2 through 14 (24th place)

by j58golf Thu Mar 31, 2016 1:05 pm

Another bad drive

by anabaptistman Thu Mar 31, 2016 1:18 pm

three bad shots and Phil is facing a 15 footer for par at hole 6

by j58golf Thu Mar 31, 2016 1:19 pm

There goes the clean card. Bound to happen the way his ball striking been.

Pretty sure I saw Getson watching Phil on 8th tee. AT Doral he followed him both days I was there which I was re a lly glad to see the guys fully invested Smile

Hopefully he can see what the problem is.

He has probably been sniper practicing instead of hitting golf balls. LOL He has this week to figure it out for next week, which is likely all he cares about. How did he play here last year?

by j58golf Thu Mar 31, 2016 1:53 pm

Almost a hole in n one on 9th. Tap In bird

T17 last year, then on to T2 for the Masters. He really needs a few W's to make a run at the Olympic team. I guarantee that's in his head.

By my (admittedly hasty) calculations, a win here and next week would do the trick. If DJ would cool of a bit that would help.

by j58golf Thu Mar 31, 2016 2:07 pm

-3 with 3 water balls is pretty darn good. BUT he better get the tee ball figured out.

by **Admin** Thu Mar 31, 2016 2:08 pm

The world got me today!!!

Pretty solid -3 for PHIL ---Three penalty strokes but his only bogie was a lousy bunker shot--

Had lots of longish birdie putts--decent round and a good start

by anabaptistman Thu Mar 31, 2016 4:06 pm

wow, -3 finish? That is probably more generous than his ball striking deserves. We'll take it, but definitely would like to see the game improve leading up to next week.

I will likely miss most of Friday and Saturday's rounds as we have a trip to Nashville===of course had a trip to Augusta

Shot 3-under with 3 water balls. Good for the circumstances, but won't advance anywhere if he keeps making those kinds of mistakes.
