I watched it last nite. Like all of these events, it doesn't get real interesting till the end.
I thought Phil and Sergio had a good shot, Troit. You wouldn't have lost your shirt cause I would have told you not to make the bet.

Remember, Els had an awful British Open, and Sergio played very well. While I agree with your assessment overall, golfers can be streaky - it can pay to go with the hot hand. Plus Phil had played the course numerous times before.
Pretty good show last nite, I was glad to see the nice pieces on Bob Hope.
