Sounds like a bum deal

Followed Mickelson in the morning and then Spieth/Day in the afternoon.

Mickelson was going very strongly (-6 after 16) only to go and do this:


He made 7 and that finished him.



Yeah, was hoping at least one of them would at least get into the playoff.

When Spieth holed his long birdie putt on 16 to tie the lead, I really thought he would go on to win.

His ball striking was very impressive all day, but his putting wasn't up to his usual standard (see his 4-putt on the 8th).

Day was more wayward, but scrambled well to hold his score together.



Once it went to the playoff, I expected Johnson to win. The 1st and 18th holes are all about your wedge shot to the green and that is also the key aspect on the 2nd. Hitting wedge shots close is what Johnson has based his whole career on.

Pictures are of Johnson (making a mess of) pitching over the Road Hole bunker in the playoff and my view of the 18th green for the playoff.
Nice pics!

Phil certainly made me lol when he hit it into someone's balcony.

All in all a great tourney, competitive through and through
