I think the wind kind of freshened into his face when he was on the tee. Like he told Roger...he wasn't playing for 2nd place. I think if he goes at the pin with a wedge, ( I think it was playing 35 hole) it most likely would have ballooned on him and come up short. He hit a helluva shot...right over the pin...just a bit too much adrenaline. Had he made that 5-6 footer for birdie on 16, things would have been different and he wouldn't have had to fire at the pin.
It was a bit "Len Mattiaceian", but I don't think this will have a long term effect on his career. Missing that putt on 16 had to hurt his confidence level going to 17. The chip on 18 was pretty bad.
By the way, Sawgrass is about the only place in this stinkin state not burning right now
