Brooksie has a case of the bogeys.....

Subsonic Mito's collapse say it was as bad or worse than Van de Velde at Carnoustie?

Not even in the same league as Van Man. Van de Velde has several chances on one hole to redeem himself
but failed miserably. JMO

My home course is nothing like Southern Hills except:

you want to avoid the rough
you NEVER want to go over a green
only 2 par 5's
the par 3's are really hard
the course is hilly
the bunkers are not easy to deal with
hitting the fairway doesn't automatically mean you get a level lie or even a good look at the green
the wind swirls

Actually my course is very much like Southern Hills except our club house would probably fit inside one of their maintenance sheds

KCee His swing did not look the same on the last 5-6 holes and his swing on #18 tee looked like a 15-25 capper.

Amen to that....! On his follow through on 18 tee, his hands NEVER got above his left shoulder....!!! Looked like a bad baseball swing....

Van de Choke's was worse because I think he had a shot at making an easy bogey after his errant drive and he got aggressive. IIRC, bogey would still win.

Double bogey would have won for Van de Velde - he was three shots ahead playing the 18th.

I thought both Pereira and Zalatoris showed a lot of class in losing. 👏

Pereira’s 18th hole reminded me of Phil’s 18th hole and ultimate loss in the U.S. Open at Wingfoot in 2006.

Subsonic

Sneakylong Man... Hard to believe that was in 2006. In my mind it was 8 to 10 years ago.

He was trying to steer it. The 5i was a decent swing but a poor drop yardage IMO.

I remember the announcers saying he could have gone 8i, 8i, Wedge, putter and won the 🏆.

Found the video on YouTube. Wow! What a strange driver swing for Mito...

Apparently, there was an announcer that said that Van de Velde could have played the hole with only his putter in less than 7 shots - seemed like a good idea for a video for someone...
