Mickelson Collapses - US Open

[bigpapabuff]

Phil Mickelson had a one stroke lead going into the 18th hole and a simple well played par would give him victory and the $1,225,000 purse, and a bogey would send him to a sudden death playoff. So what did he do, he pulls out his driver which he hadn't hit well all day, only hitting two fairways. He hits a giant tent that saved him from loosing his ball. Then from the rediculous rough and behind trees he tries for a hero shot, when a punchout to the fairway is still a good shot at victory. He ends up hitting a tree and ends up back in the rough. To make a long story short he ended up double bogeying the hole and outright losing the tournament.

Geoff Ogilvy ended up winning the US Open with a score of +5, thanks to Phil totaly choking.

I hated to see that I was really pulling for Phil he only had a 4 wood in his bag and said he didn't think he'd have the distance if he hit a poor shot with it.

Im a huge Mickelson fan, and I was pulling for him to win his first US Open, but he definitely made some huge mistakes. If he was hitting his big dog well than it may have been different, but he struggled with it all day. Pull out another club and be safe, win crappy but win, he definitely chocked.

I am a huge Phil fan too, and it was sad to see him loose in that way. But I kind of like to root for the underdog, which is why I started liking Phil in the first place, but now he's clearly not an underdog. So although it was sad to see Phil loose, I liked watching Ogilvy win.
