Phil won this week because he had to recover those bitcoin losses 😭

yes lets go back to normal, boring, snoozefest golf.  

The golf itself was exciting and is most weeks without fans rushing the course before the final pairing can even get up to the green.

There are ropes out there for a reason.  It’s not “powerful.” Those people looked like imbeciles. 

Come on man it's history being made on the last hole. While they shouldn't be mugging Phil, following him up to the green is pretty cool.

I got a sickness and the only cure is more Phil thumbs up

[Holy Moses]

How do you play with sunglasses on, let alone aviators? I couldn't but my goodness Phil sure can. I did not see him playing well on a course this penal, but wow he sure did. Incredible tournament. 

[Dicka]

Loved it on 16...Brooks smashed one down the fairway. Phil stood up and blew it 20 past him!

[PZero]

Next week everyone will be wearing shades out there.

[Amps]

Delighted to have the screaming yahoos back around the course, terrified to see security loosing control, amazed to see Phil winning at his age. 

 

Some great golf on show and a tough interesting course; an enjoyable weekend all in. Here's to stem cell research! 🍹🍹🍹

Well, not being blind is pretty helpful for me! 

[DatSliceDoe]

Simply perfect. Way to go, Phil!

No but maybe Bruce could try to have a little class about it. Did Nicklaus sulk like that when he lost? 

[NoodleSalad]

Fans rushing the greens on 18 is a tradition at the Brexit Open. I guess when it happens over there it's all good fun. In America it's deeply sinister.

This will drive Tiger even more now! 

I had pretty much the exact same thought

[The4TH]

Yeah! I hold it as long as I could that I wanted Phil to win until last putt dropped!!!!!! 

 

BTW T8 for Fowler, good to see him up on the leaderboard after R4.

[3whacker]

Phil just played his way on the Ryder Cup team, no way that the PGA and Stricker leave him off

[Neo1]

darn near 51 year old PHIL!!!! Big Cat at home thinking he's got plenty left in the tank himself.....as long as he can stay healthy of course 😕

Well you see what you want to see i guess.

[thesamwise]

We're showing calves

and we're winning majors at half a cenny

It looked like Arnie at the Open Championship, What an incredible scene! Way to go, Phil!

Who had Padraig with a T4 finish? 

All the guys early in this thread that had the winner at this beast of a course being one of the top dogs of course.  Phil and Padraig are two of the few with at least three major wins……

 

 

That is what y’all meant isn’t  it? 🤣

[DON SVO]

Damn Brooks didn’t take this well at all.

  Agreed. Classless and, still, curmudgeonly..

Phil is the 3rd greatest golfer of all time, change my mind.

He is the second best player of his generation.

i dont get why you guys are complaining about the fans.  this was such an awesome, powerful scene.  if it didnt give you goosebumps, i dont know what would

I dont mind the fans following or surrounding g the green it’s when they scream like teenage girls when his ball gets near them or men yelling I love you Phil. It’s so juvenile. Act like adults 

[Dave230]

What a tournament that was, great winner and that course, Kiawah Island was just perfect major golf. I'd love to see it as a major course a few times a decade after that triumph. Always interesting.

[Go Cougs]

From what I recall Brooks gave Phil the bro hug, and Phil actually kind of turned away from Brooks.  Maybe I'm remembering it wrong?  🤷‍♂️

 

This could end up being the 2020's version of the Zapruder film.

Perhaps. But he is the best of those still able to compete.

I've always been glad when Phil wins, and I'm glad he won this in such incredible fashion. But now that I've watched the ending, the trophy presentation and interview, and the press conference, I'm stuck by one thought. It's that this doesn't seem like a very Phil-like reaction to what just happened. It is so very reserved, almost stunned. Not the enthusiasm and funny comments and dumb grins we used to get. Maybe he truly is stunned, I don't know. But it left me rather cold, TBH.
