Stray bullets after the PGA Championship

  • With all the talk of Tiger choking it's worth noting that Y.E. Yang's pressure putting was tested on the green at 17. He did what many would refer to as a choke job, but it will never get noticed because Tiger didn't capitalize.
  • Expect Lerner, Cellini, Tilghman and Sands to ware out the phrase "Tiger Slayer" over the next week.
  • This is the second week in a row that a sculled short-sided lob into a water hazard removed Padraig Harrington's chances on Sunday.
  • Many will jokingly blame the pinkish hue in Tiger's shirt for the loss.
  • Rory McIroy finished T3 at age 20.
  • Watching Tiger Woods have to putt for par on 18 (and miss) after Yang had already dropped the birdie for the win was an awkward sight to say the least.
  • As expected, Tiger was kind of a dick during the post round press conference.

Didn't Tiger putt first on 17...both times ? His pitch from behind the green left him a tough par putt, which he missed. Yang didn't captialize, but he matched Woods, which is a victory with that much pressure.

Paddy's pitch into the water at the PGA was skulled, but he wasn't short-sided. He had the entire width of the green to play with - but it was downhill and towards the water...not that it mattered since missed the entire green. You think he left that wedge in the locker room after the tournament ?
