2021 PGA Championship: The Ocean Course

[rick64]

Fairways and greens Phil. Close the deal.

 

[ukalumni00]

Really want Phil to win but can’t trust him not to make this a nail biter. Made a lot of silly mistakes over the years. Good news for him is the leaderboard is beat up and not sure anyone can make a charge now.

 

[Lord Z]

So Brooks is about to birdie and Louie has a good look at eagle coming up. Still not over.

 

[rick64]

Louie has one smooth sweet swing.

 

[Lord Z]

Louie's eagle putt hung over the lip as it went by. No idea how that didn't go in.

Brooks steps up at 16 and just crushes it into that par 5, then Phil sends a rocket right by his ball... this is a great game.

 

[Lord Z]

Mad props to Louie for having the nads to go for that on 17. Right over the pin.

 

[rick64]

Will this be Phil’s first major win with his brother on the bag? I think it is. How special is that??!!

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

3 up 2 to go.

 

[Lord Z]

If Phil isn't left of the green on 17 he made a mistake. That 2nd bunker would be perfect.

 

[rick64]

Well that wasn’t what you wanted on 17 for a second shot.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Phil just can’t make it easy.

 

[Lord Z]

This is going to be a nasty shot. Thick grass. Blast it out and risk the water? He should have put it in the bunker.

 

[rick64]

Looking like Phil bogies and Brooks pars, 2 shot lead going to 18.

 

[Lord Z]

Looking like Phil bogies and Brooks pars, 2 shot lead going to 18.

If Louie misses his long birdie putt.

 

[rbs]

... I am exhausted watching Phil play .... he should have had this wrapped up but he keeps letting strokes strokes get away ... limping home. It ain’t over till it’s over with Phil. We go t0 the 18th, up 2.

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

2 up 1 to go. Bring it home Phil.

 

[rick64]

Ok Phil, don’t go crazy here with the tee shot. Put it in the short grass.

 

[Lord Z]

Good thing Louie missed that putt or I'm sure Phil would have done some Phil stuff here on 18. Great to see him wrap this up, though.

 

[Lord Z]

That is great stuff right there.

 

[rick64]

Beautiful second shot!!

 

[rbs]

This scene is nuts ...

 

[rick64]

Holy **** look at the crowd

 

[rick64]

What’s the count on Phil thumbs up today?

 

[Catfan in Tn.]

Damn that was dangerous.

 

[CatInCanuckLand]

I spy a fan with a UK hat!!!

 

[Lord Z]

How do they get Phil out of there when he makes it?

 

[HymanKaplan_rivals48997]

**** yes. Pay up Casey.

 

[rbs]

So ... the pandemic looks like it is officially over and sports is back. Phil with a win for the ages.

 

[rbs]

The Kiawah Island Ocean Course delivered another great moment in golf history ...

 

[Cawood86_rivals]

Phil fan mostly because I play or played left handed as well. Good for hi and the sport imo. Likely his last Major win. Well done.

 

[*CatinIL*]

Nice job Phil!

[Glenn's Take]

Have they ever let the fans do that all the way up to the green before? It happened all the time at the British Open but they never let them all the way up to the green.

 

[Glenn's Take]

That limb better be really strong....

Finau tied for 8th. Not my worst pick ever.

 

[maysvilleky]

Have they ever let the fans do that all the way up to the green before? It happened all the time at the British Open but they never let them all the way up to the green.

Yes they have. I recall seeing film of Jack winning with people literally at the edge of the green.

 

[uky8unc5]

Anyone else wonder why anyone would play that course for fun? It looks like a great place to throw your clubs in the water and take up fishing.

I've played it, but not 7800 yards!
Plus they tricked up the greens.
It's not as hard as it looks on TV.

First time, we walked it with caddies.
They were a great help.

 

[uky8unc5]

Yes they have. I recall seeing film of Jack winning with people literally at the edge of the green.

That was a tradition at the British Open until recent years.

[cole854]

Greatest win in a major in our lifetime. Major thumbs up.
