Ctown- not sure if you were around after the US Open, but a couple of guys in here were bashing Phil, saying he was a pompous ass and a choker. I'm not exactly sure how missing one very difficult putt to take second in a major is "choking". I can't think of too many guys that would be upset with a first and a second in the first two majors of the year.
As for the pompous comments, I don't get those, either. A couple of my friends have met Phil a few times, and they said he was nothing but a class act and a nice guy.
