Did he jump higher there or when he won his first Masters?

Pretty much Jordan after buzzer-beating the Cavs.

These final 5 are going to be crazy. Average is close to +3 for the week for those 5 holes.

You thinking +1 for the win?

I think +1 maybe +2. Not sure how anyone can post even par. Rose has the best shot, but he has sucked the last 5 holes this week.

Ignore the Luke Donald part and I'm looking good.

Im pulling for both of them (Mahan, then Day). But Rose looks surprisingly calm out there.

Not that he needs it but Hunter is blowing some major cash the last few holes.

I dont now how you could keep it together if you are right there with 3 holes to play...then double to essentially eliminate yourself. I think I would double the remaining holes lol.

Phil looked devestated in that interview with NBC. Basically said this was the best chance he's ever had to win it and he just couldn't get it done. Had the look of a guy who probably realized for the first time he is likely never going to win this tournament.

37 I think. Not going to hold on to a 1 shot lead if you do that.

37 putts is terrible, he should be embarrassed. Shit most I've had this year is 35, how the hell can a pro who usually puts the ball pretty close to the pin have that many
