AT&T Pebble Beach

So I'm assuming Stallings is still on the premises, correct?

 

I sure hope so ........ he's not out of the tournament yet. Best scenario is Phil and Paul back up ...... hoping so for Scott.

 

:taunt:

[Konklifer]

Phil and Paul talking a lot on the putting green. No doubt debating what happened yesterday.

Casey mental midgeted is way on a few holes..Mickelson played well on those holes. No way he loses this one. He is a proven winner...against not so proven winners.

Here’s the FedEx mission statement. Note that it says nothing about honesty or integrity, so the sandbagging thing is pretty much consistent with the culture... Kind of sounds like it’s all about money.

 

 

“FedEx Corporation will produce superior financial returns for its shareowners by providing high value-added logistics, transportation and related business services through focused operating companies. Customer requirements will be met in the highest quality manner appropriate to each market segment served.

Yep that's possible. A friend and I got beat several ago under the same circumstance. We had a ton of birdies, but on the same holes. We got beat by two guys with less holes, but on alternate holes. Sucks, but it happens.

 

The high level point in this is that winning is more than amateur playing good golf. It is doing it at the right time. Have 2 birdies a round when your pro gets a bogie and you are at -16 for the tournament. 2 adjusted birdies for a 13 isn't much of a stretch. Having them happen at the right time though is. That is were luck comes in. A 13 winning the tournament is likely to be playing slightly above his average (i.e. maybe gets 4 adjusted birdies/round instead of the expected 3) and then it is just a matter of if the birdies happen at the right time. It would be interesting to know how many natural birdies/pars this guy has had versus every other 10-15 in the field. Is he playing abnormally good (top 5% of expected results) or is he playing good (top 25% results) and being lucky.

 

But yeah the guys scores look really consistent. Maybe that is his game or the course he plays at.

 

I don't think we will get to see the am's card anywhere unless he puts it on IG...not seeing that happening!

 

But, at quick glance, it looks like the "13" contributed to the "Team" cause not too outrageously. Some of those net birdies could be a net eagle, but I doubt it. It just appeared from the numerous shots on Sunday he was playing out of his mind, as it does on Thursday, so perhaps he loves Pebble.

 

Thursday, PB - 6 net birdies in 14 holes

Friday, MPCC - 2 net birdies in 12 holes

Saturday, SH - 4 net birdies in 12 holes

Sunday, PB - 3 net birdies in 16 holes

I think Paul's trying to bum a ride to LA on Phil's plane, and Phil's telling him to pound sand.

I thought they were like Red Cross or UNICEF. Thanks for the help.

[Konklifer]

Casey almost fanned that putt.

[OldTomMorris]

PGA Tour bonus on a Monday afternoon, nice.

 

I like Phil but P in PGA Tour doesn't stand for Phil so well played to Casey for standing firm regarding the daylight issue.

[deadsolid...shank]

Game, set, match with one swing.

[bladehunter]

Well that clinches it

[deadsolid...shank]

Now our only excitement is watch the AM finish.

[WidespreadPanic]

What a (re)start for Phil.

[CasualLie]

Phil still has that look of "can't believe these mfr's made me stay here another night...take that!"

[rawdog]

Wait a minute...

[OldTomMorris]

Great shot from Phil.

[WidespreadPanic]

Casey makes bird and Phil doesn’t. Casey birdies 18 and Phil bogeys. It’s possible.

[rawdog]

Can't watch 17 at Pebble again without thinking of this awesome drama.

 

24-man playoff.

 

[rawdog]

These conditions really do seem to give Casey an advantage in capturing a solo second.

 

17, at least, seems to be playing a little easier. Getting some rest and re-setting also a huge advantage over his competitors who hand to grind out the last two holes after a looooong day yesterday.

[DatSliceDoe]

WOW

[Darth Putter]

worm cam!

[Darth Putter]

The smooth greens have completely confused them.

[dlygrisse]

Got to say, I am hugely impressed with Phil thus far in 2019.

 

I had written him off after his play turned terrible following on from the win in Mexico last March but he has come into 2019 with his A Game it would seem. He should have won at the Bob Hope and I realise that 2 holes to play is still plenty of time for Phil (in particular) to mess up but I can't see it happening. He said after the win in Mexico that he would get to 50 wins before he is done, I still can't see that happening but I doubted that he would get even one more.

 

Phil's entire career has been that way. He's never been world #1, he's never won more than 4 times on tour, he goes from playing the best golf in the world to MC. He makes more biridies than anyone then he makes tons of "others".

 

It's just Phil being Phil....he'll probably win an event at 55 and miss the next 5 cuts.

 

I think that's a good take on Phil except for the missed cut part. Phil hasn't miss a lot of cuts in his career compared to other stars not named Tiger. I think because he's Phil, we notice them more.

 

Well, fair point, let's just say solidly out of contention. He isn't a top 10 machine like some of the guys, and in fairness to him, if it wasn't for Tiger I am sure he would have been #1 for a period of time at some point. Tiger was a buzz saw that threw his career on a different trajectory than he saw coming. OTOH I think Tiger motivated him to get better midway through his career.

[bscinstnct]

Thanks for the updates!

In case you are wondering why Phil is so chatty this morning, he really only cares about two things: Monterey traffic on Hwy 1, and is the Jet fired up. Should be wheels up by 9:30!

[sbjinx]

Casey almost fanned that putt.

 

Assuming he missed his putt on 16. Karma lol

[TrueBlue4Lyfe]

Best ball Explained:

 

you take the best score for the hole. 24 birdies and 12 pars means team one shot -24.

 

There could several different scores for team 2 in your example, depending on which holes and who had the birdies, pars, and bogies. If you birdie and your partner makes bogey, you count the birdie (called ham n egging it).

 

Why are you being so obtuse? It's clear what the original poster meant. We both understand what best ball means we don't need you to explain it. It seems you don't understand it actually. 24 birdies and 12 pars does not mean one team shot -24.

He's probably got a couple of hours of winner's commitments to get through first.
