"He is a good ball striker".
After a third round, one player said, "tomorrow, I am going to play one shot at a time".
"He has very quiet hands".
"He overcooked it".
"That's Phil being Phil".

Can anyone explain what any of these statements mean? Do you have any others?
Just today on ESPN, the announcer said "later Dustin Johnson will start the day 1 shot clear of all those that are a shot back" I rewound the DVR to be sure he actually said something that stupid
