and took triple-bogey on the 18th to drop into a playoff which he lost. Yes, a triple bogey is worse than a double bogey but you're exaggerating a bit.

As were you, not to mention that there is no comparison in the difficulty between the respective holes they were playing.
OK, so if there had been water on the 18th of Winged Foot and Phil waded into it barefoot to try to blast out from underwater, that would be what we call the "Van de Velde Maneuver". I don't know what Phil's play is called, I will wait to read the newspapers in the morning.
Both were marred by poor shots and even poorer decisions. To place one above the other wouldn't be fair to either competitor. I will say that the 18th at Carnoustie is comparable in difficulty to the 18th at Winged Foot. Heck, the two courses are probably the toughest tests on either side of the Atlantic when you get right down to it.
