Shooting 13 under with a $500,000 birdie putt on the 18th is not a give away, JT just won it

As in every tourney.................first place won, second placer errors lost it.


Nothing different @ TPC.

It's that simple. I've always said there is no second place...there's a winner and the first looser.

I like Lee Westwood and was rooting for him all week. But he gave it away.

Take nothing away from JT but Westwood controlled his own fate. Thomas didn't.

Lee Westwood did not play bad. The course setup on Sunday at that tournament is always tough. JT was brilliant tee to green. When you go birdie, eagle, birdie, birdie, you deserve to win.

What a gross oversimplification.

I didn't notice anything baggy about Westwood's garments. Maybe a little loose but he did need some slack to be able to swing his arms.

But take a look at what Lee Westwood's putt was worth on 18? That was a $500,000 putt !
1st: $2,700,000 prize money at The Players
2nd: $1,635,000

I have a hard time considering someone who won $1,635,000 a loser.

Come on de. The word “gross” describes the word “oversimplification”, not your post.
And your post is simply your opinion. An opinion can’t be “in error”.

But I can certainly disagree with your opinion, which I do in this instance.

You say that the course set up was tough but as I said, nine out of the top twelve broke 70. Westwood hit two balls in the water and several in the trees. He made a boatload of par saving 8-10 foot putts. He was13 under for the first three rounds. That's an average of 4-1/3 under pre round. That means that he was 4-1/3 shots worse in his final round. Even if he was two shots worse and shot 70 he would have won. He played poorly and lost the tournament.

I guarantee that if you told Lee Westwood that he could but had to give up the prize money, he'd take the win. Only people that know nothing about golf talk about the money like this.

I pulled for JT - the American golfer.

It is hard to think of someone who took home $1,635,000 (or even $885,000 in Bryson's case) as a looser.

Both Westwood's and Bryson's game really changed at hole 4 on Sunday. Was sorry to see that and was hoping for a rematch of last week. But don't forget about the Westwood's bonus. How many golfers get to kiss their caddy?

I would love to finish first loser every week. At the end of the season putting $25M or more in my pocket I really would not feel like much of a loser.
