Phil's Short Game

[tball88]

I know everyone is talking about his shot on 13 and 15, but Phil absolutely put on a short game clinic this week. Getting up and down from everywhere. Full flop on 18 yesterday, up and down's to save critical pars today, just absolutely fantastic.

I know a lot of people feel Seve had the greatest short game of the modern era, but Phil can't be far off.

Yea he is pretty amazing.....when he contended at Winged Foot no one remembers how amazing his short game was because his long game was horrid for four days in a row.

Did he miss a short putt all week? I guess one they did not show fri on 5.

Phil's short game is great except when he gets with the putter. I like that Stockton is getting him back to more of his old putting stroke, back right when he was in college and just out of college. Eventually what happened is down the road he developed a big loop in his putting stroke and never really quite recovered from there.

I watched his Short Game DVD, a friend of mine has it. I thought it was excellent. One of the better pieces of instruction put out by a PGA Tour player. Ranks right up there with Hogan's '5 Lessons' and Jack's 'Golf My Way.'
