I think chipping and putting should be illegal. Once you hit the green, if you get it within 10 feet, it's a zero. Within 15 feet it's a one. Just on the green two. That is the sole reason why I never was a real great player.

The elephant in room about Pebble Beach: poa annua greens.
The shit is just noxious. It grows at an incredibly high rate, and extremely unevenly. It also seeds very easily. It makes luck far more important in putting greens than it is on any other surface. The moderate climate of the Monterrey Bay allows it to thrive. You can find it on a lot of local courses in the spring, but the summer heat kills the rat shit out. |

To me, I can't consider Pebble the best of the best when it comes to courses because of those greens.
The views are as good as it gets, and the layout is fantastic, but the greens are among the worst on tour, if not the worst. It's not an accurate test of golf. |

Tiger finished at +4.
Phil just birdied the hardest hole on the course to go +3. 3,4, and 7 are birdie holes. You need to be able to play those holes about -5 for the week. |

And Philly Mick pours one into the heart from 10 feet on 3. Great approach from the fairway bunker.

3 under through 4 holes. |

Mickelson is now -4 through 6 holes, bringing himself back to even for the tournament.

If Mickelson pars the 9th, he'll shoot 30 on the front.
A mother****ing 30. |

Well, Mickelson just bogeyed 9, one of the hardest holes on the course. Cards a 31, and he's the only guy on the course under par for his round.

Mickelson made an easy par on 10 and birdies 11 to play 8-11 -1.
That's a fabulous stretch of golf. |
