He is playing the best. If he doesn't win it, then it will be a choke for sure.

Ben Curtis is still playing fairly solid. Seems like it's gonna come down to them 2.

He and Tiger are the best clutch putters I have ever seen. PADDY MUST BE YOUR NATIONAL HERO. What a clutch individual he has become.

He is.. the place is probably going crazy now.. It'll certainly make up for our lack of Olympic glory., a great player and a good guy..

That tourney was a blast to watch for a variety of reasons for me, the obvious being Ben. Very unfortunate ending for him but his bank account is quite larger then it was.

Not too mention he is now a proud member of the Ryder Cup team. :D Real cool to see him make that. He is one of the most level headed golfers you will find in good times and bad.

Big props to Harrington. Gamer to the end.

Glad to see Ben doing well and hope he continues to "up his game"! Happy for Paddy,too. Read somewhere that the pro's have to watch out for Paddy the same way they do when El Tigre is in the line-up! That's foolishness ,of course...but it's good to see a quiet guy who plays hard and gives it his best shot everytime win it....same for Ben too

Amazing the transformation he has undergone through the years. He is absolute money in the clutch. 66-66 on the weekend of a major is strong as train smoke.

I'd like to see him paired with Tiger on Sunday in a major before I start sucking his potato nuts like you guys.

No doubt....that will be when is real test comes. Is he on Tiger's level?? Hell no. He needs another 11 majors....but right now, he is the 2nd best in the world. Just impressive to me how he has transformed his game through the years.

No offense since you're a golfer but the majority of players on the PGA Tour are chokers.

They're still looking for J.B. Holmes. He's been missing since Sunday morning. ;)

Coach, for the most part, I can't disagree with you there. It's way too easy to make a very nice living out there finishing top 15-20 every few weeks, maybe throw in a top 5 once or twice a year. Add it up at the end of the year and you have a 1.5 million. The hunger to win isn't a common trait out there.

I didn't know Holmes was a choke, but that was pure choke. As far as the majority being chokers, I think it is a combination of not having the talent mixed in with some choke. Now, if you take this Rose guy, that guy is 100% choke. He wasn't that way on the Euro tour about 5-6 years ago. He would line up against Poulter,and simply make the putts to beat him. Rose has the talent to be doing what Tiger and Paddy are doing. He is weak. This guy Curtis isn't a choke. He had a bad break on a putt hit'n something, and changing direction. Also, he is simply not as good a putter as PADDY,TIGER, and ROSE are. He is getting a lot out of what he has. Garcia is 75% choke, and 25% of his problems are because he really isn't a very good natural putter. He is improving on it, but that putt on 17 says it all. Villegas is a choke. A very big choka(dat choka be cubed.)
