Look, Goosen shot 1 over, Phil shot 1 over - those were the 2nd best scores of the day. It's how you play for 72 holes that counts, that's why they play 4 rounds. Since none of us here has likely played those greens when they are running a 13 on the stimp meter, its silly to call it a choke.
IMO, if Phil went out and shot 80, he choked. He shot a very, very good score, it wasn't enough.

I wouldn't be putting on those greens. I am not one of the best professional golfers in the world. "Drive for show and putt for dough". If he shot an 80 I would say he imploded not choked. Again, 3 putting from 5 feet to win his second consecutive major is choking. Regardless of what the stimp meter says or how difficult the course is playing. When push came to shove and the tournament was his for the taking he saw his shadow. I love Phil but the fact remains when the chips were on the table he folded.
