It matters to Digby Brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peasy23 Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 So Mickelson has finally broken his silence and said Le Golf National was unplayable. Try telling that to Hatton and Casey who were 9 under through 14 holes on Saturday morning, or even his teammates Johnson and Fowler who were 6 under through 16 holes on the Friday.

Is the concept that even if it was "unplayable", both sets of players played on the same course lost on him then? Still not over plunging one in the water to meekly hand the trophy over Phil?

Just had a look at some of the other scores, Finau was -6 through 14 in the singles on Sunday when he beat Fleetwood. If the fairways were 40 yards wide Phil would still have been missing them.

I think almost every course is unplayable for Phil these days (I know, I know, he's going well this week). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ro Sham Bo Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Just read his actual quotes. What a clown. "I'm 48. I'm not going to play tournaments with rough like that anymore. It's a waste of my time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watching the US tour at the moment and even the American commentators are critical of him. Pointing out that what he's said is not only silly, but also untrue. Someone should ask him what constitutes fair on the golf course. For example, is it fair to run after your ball and tap it into the hole while still moving?

[emoji23] “I think it's an incredible golf course,” he said. “I think the consensus amongst all the players is that it's a wonderful test of golf. The setup is as good as it could possibly be. It's just in pristine, immaculate shape, and yet provides a very good challenge that's a fair challenge. I think it's a wonderful test.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As Butch Harmon said you can`t play that course from the rough and it`s even tougher from the water. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
