Norman & Mickelson
« on: April 04, 2009, 05:37:19 PM »
Norman 3 off the lead at the Shell?  Frankly I am very much looking forward to watching him at Augusta next week.  His chances of winning are obviously distant but he may do surprisingly well.

My head is again scratching on Phil.  Missed the cut badly the week before the Masters??  Why did he even play?  He probably would have been better served going home and getting ready for Augusta instead of playing this week...

Would love for him to have a good showing, was my fav when I was a kid other than payne but he makes
it so brutal to cheer for him sometimes. I can see it now, two off going into sun and shots 76. Well I'll be
pulling for him anyway. I remember getting the rebok norman pump golf shoes in 92, jr year in high school lol.

Well I'm sure when he enteredt the tournament he wasn't expecting to miss the cut badly.

Word.  If you've followed the event at all, they've tried to set up Redstone as much like ANGC as they can.  Good for Phil to get bad shots out of system, try certain things under competitive pressure, and not sit idly by at home with his putter in his hands.

It's amazing that missing the cut can pitched as a good thing.  Mickelson made it sound like the best case, like he got rid of shots he would have saved for next week if he'd played well.

I'll all for positive thinking, but Shell's current conditions are similar to Augusta's in many ways, at least around the greens, and it can't bode well to chop it up.

OT - Any reason for posting here?

Until such time as the supposed Moderators act on these threads, I'm going to comment. AND I mean either create an OT area or get off the pot, boys...

best,

In preparing for the Maters, not sure I would have want to make the cut this week, long days because of the delays... 27 holes on sunday, potential monday finish ????... late flight, 1 hour jet lag...

might as well have a nice breakfast and fool around Augusta on sunday

  Maybe Phil did it on purpose so he could get better odds next week. Haven't you been watching what is going on with the KP?

Ronald,
Rumor is they set up Augusta like Augusta as well.
Not picking on Mickelson, I just don't get why pros would not go in early to prepare at Augusta as Nicklaus used to. (then come back on Tuesday refreshed, not stressed)
Why go to Houston to get the feel of Augusta?
