I can’t believe what I just saw. I’m so shocked I need to post about it now. Phil Mickelson just tried to hit a choked down fairway metal from 6 inch rough, 140 yards from the par 5 fifth hole. The shot went about 3 feet. WTF??? He just made bogey and he was lucky to get that.
Phil hasn’t hit a fairway yet and that was a terribly dumb shot choice. If Phil doesn’t get it together he certainly won’t win this championship.

My pop (69) and I placed 2nd in the annual father’s day tournament at his club Hidden Valley.
I played fairly decent. I chipped in two holes in a row today. I even won a closest to the pin by knocking a 7i about 2 feet from about 170 on #13.
It’s great to play in this tournament every year with my dad.

I’m not surprised Tiger missed the cut at this year’s U.S. OPEN. I lost a parent a couple of years ago and it still hurts sometimes. For Tiger to go through that and then try to come back under the most brutal conditions on tour and expect to make the cut is a lot to ask.
Oh, and I won a bet with golfdiscussions.com over the Tiger/Phil U.S. OPEN standings. Time to pay up GD!
And HOG readers are obviously smarter than GD’s because they picked Phil over Tiger… GD had Tiger something like 87%…
