Like I said before, he sucks when he's in Tiger's group.
Finds a way to dick it up.

Eguller Definitely not sucking today.

Did you see the putter whiff?
He sucks
LOL

Tiger's bunker game is now reminiscent of his old chipping woes. 0 for 9 -Ouch.

Eguller

His putter ran cold today, too.

Not to mention the mental mistakes. Yeah, one putt over 4'.... double ouch.

Fowler, WTF? C'MON MAN!

Phil, please lose the stupid glasses and the chewing gum. Please......

Most boring major in years , course is also visually unappealing

sdandrea1 Phil, please lose the stupid glasses

I saw a post he made on Twitter (assume it's him) saying he gets 5 mil to endorse them and the haters can deal with that.
FIGJAM lives!

I'm a huge Phil fan, but don't encourage him. FWIW, I love the sunglasses and 5 million to wear them, I'd be sleeping with them for that

I like Phil's sunglasses and gum IF he had the game to back that look up. If he was contending while casually wearing shades and chewing gum he'd seem uber cool.

LOL
The glasses look stupid, along with his cud chewing, but I don't care and I'm not a hater because I think that.
It's nice to know that he's honest about being a sell out and endorsing shit for a price since he can't win at golf anymore, but he doesn't need to piss on the peons at the same time.
Hey, a multi millionaire has to make a living somehow, right?

Thanks for this post, I thought maybe it was just me. Absolutely no excitement at all, in watching this. Could it be the presentation by ESPN that is lulling us to sleep?

ya he's not hurting and probably doesn't need a measley 5 million but as with Tiger and others his off course earnings are where they earn now.

"Phil Mickelson Net Worth: Phil Mickelson is an American professional golfer who has a net worth of $400 million. He is an incredibly successful golfer, and belongs to the small minority of players in the history of golf to have won three of the four majors. During his career to date, Phil Mickelson's career earnings top $800 million. In some years he has earned $80 to $100 million. In more recent years he has earned $40 to $50 million, of which the vast majority comes from endorsements.

As of this writing he has earned over $90 million in tournament money alone. That's second only Tiger Woods."

Weirfan doesn't need a measley 5 million

iirc, he moved to FL, so now he'll have a lot of extra $$ in pocket due to the tax diff from CA.. Probably why he decided to grab the loot at this stage of his career.

Par4QC Could it be the presentation by ESPN that is lulling us to sleep?

That is partly to blame for sure.
The course is not visually appealing as Weirfan stated.
However, there have been things to talk about for sure.
Fowler's putter whiff (misses cut by 1)
Cameron Tringale DQ (signed for lower wrong score and would have made the cut by 1 with proper score)
DaBoob's club breaking.
Lowry's club breaking.
Rahms hissy fit sound equipment breaking.
Tiger's new putter that is not working out.
Rory's mental breakdowns.
JT no good after winning last week.
Spieth still struggling.
Surprise leaders including Li who went back to the course after his round to practice a long time.
Paul Casey showing up at a major.
Adam Scott's first start this year and it's a major.
Phil and his dumbass glasses and Army golf.
No free TV for some of youse guys.

Why is the course "visually unappealing"?

ode Why is the course "visually unappealing"?

No hot chicks in the background.
To me, it just seems plain looking.
Can't put my finger on it.

Isn't it a muni?
