Why Didn't Phil...

1. Return to the 4th tee?
2. Dress like someone other than Don January?

Bogey

He lacks your composure and obvious style, respectively.

[Jud_T]

Because he's a knucklehead.  Why is this surprising to anyone?

Mike,

I thought the same thing, however after hitting that tee shot I don't know that I'd want to attempt to hit it again.

That's a pretty challenging hole location.

Sometimes, in the heat of the moment, our thinking gets clouded. 
His unplayable options weren't very good.

I love how the media, the media experts, anoint the winner
1.    Before the tournament
2.    After the first round
3.    After the second round
4.    After the third round
5.    All during the final round,

And NO ONE TAKES THEM TO TASK GOR BEING SO BLATANTLY WRONG

[Terry Lavin]

He'll be quoting Roberto DiVincenzo after this round.

[Mike Hendren]

Pat, agree that's a brutal hole location.  They used it in the second round two years ago but also moved the tee markers well forward so that the hole played around 160 yards.

Predicting winners in major golf tournaments is a crap shoot.  Especially lately, after Tiger's problems surfaced: since the 2008 PGA, there has not been a single repeat winner.  The annual forecasts are fun, but have almost no predictive value.

Bogey

Was that outfit beige, tan, eggshell or taupe?

[Mark Saltzman]

He made 6.

If he went back to the tee he makes 5 or likely 6.

I was fine with his decision, just didn't work out.

[Jud_T]

Seems to me pretty clear he should have gone back to the tee.  If he goes back he probably makes a 5, worst case a 6.  He was lucky that 6 wasn't a 7 or an 8.  He almost hit himself, twice, he could have easily skulled that flop shot off the hard pan over the green or plugged it in the bunker, and he made a great sand save...

Bogey

1. I thought his decision to try and hit the shot from the bushes was the right play.  He's figuring he can advance it out in front of the junk maybe somehwere in front of the left bunker.  From there he'll be hitting his 3rd shot greenside instead of hitting 3 from the tee, 220 yds away.  It was a tough shot but he miss hit it which compounded his error. If he re-teed it, the best he can hope for is a 5 and could very likely make 6, I'm sure he thought he could make 4 or 5 by attempting that 2nd shot.

2.  I liked his outfit.  Looked to me to be a nice cream/beige ensemble.  Paired with the light brown croc belt & shoe combo...thought he was stylin'.  Would've looked great under a 4th Green Jacket.

[Anthony Butler]

He almost hit himself, twice.

The only person pleased with Phil's second and third shots on 4 were his wife, Amy.

Mickelson might have a secret love child, but at least he's no switch-hitter...

[Stuart Goldstein]

I'm going to throw some of the blame on his caddy.  They spend 10 minutes from the middle of the fairway 180 yards out discussing what shot to play and then when Phil yanks one into the junk he seems to rush through his thought process.

Mickelson might have a secret love child

Anthony: source please! Sounds interesting...

Long time internet rumor and supposed coverup conspiracy....

[Steve Salmen]

Regardless the outcome on the 4th hole, he still had plenty of chances to make birdies and get to 10, even 11.  I thought his final blow was the tee shot on 16.

Sounds like cast iron truth to me!

Exactly.

Although with these things, often times where there is smoke there is fire. Not always but often.

Don't forget his alleged gambling debts and how he allegedly repaid them!
