exactly, why did he try the wood from that position, in that rough.
That was the old Phil. I thought he left that behind him when he started to win majors, but I guess he's nervous. I don't think he had anything to gain with that shot. If he just wanted to chip it out with a lofted wood, that would have been fine. But a full shot could have gone anywhere, or in this case, nowhere.

exactly, he gave himeself no chance with that shot choice, even if he did hit it as he intented, i dont think it would of stayed up long enough to make the green with any sort of wood in that lie. on the shot after from what must of been a close match to the first lie, he pulled out his iron and perfect, one must ask why did'nt he do that the first time. not the thing to do when in contention at a major.
On the earlier hole the fairway wood was a questionable call but he also just didn't hit it well, it looked like a very fat shot where he hit too far behind the ball, took a chunk of turf, and the clubhead passed mostly under the ball and barely advanced it. A big gamble that did not pay off, that is not going to be a high-percentage shot even for the professionals.
On the 18th most people were saying what he was attempting to do is nearly impossible, I don't know about that but the more sensible play would be to lay up and be looking at probable win or at worst a playoff.

I really don't think that there was any way to hit that shot on the line he was going. I believe that at this point he was mentally exhausted and was not thinking clearly.
