Was it just me or did he seem really flip about the last 4 putts of his round? He did not take any time at all to line up his bogey put or the dbl bogey or the trpl bogey. Whats the hurry?

I just saw that highlight of him. I think he was frustrated and figured he could knock it in after missing the first one. Then couldn't believe he missed it and tried to just finish the hole and get out of there and then missed again. I can't imagine what he was thinking then. He probably didn't know at the time that series of events took him out of position to make the top 30 in the Fed Ex Cup standings and be able to play in two weeks at the Tour Championship. How many thousands of dollars did that cost him? Big mistake, on top of that he declined to comment afterward. What a surprise.

Muscle spasm, we've all been there before. but your right, he didn't realize the importance of it all, maybe his caddie did or didn't and should have spoken up. Bottom line yes, thousands of dollars maybe even a million or so....ouch!!!

We have all done it.... Then again Most of us don't play for a living. Just a prime example that rushing a putt, no matter how short, is never a good idea. I did kind of feel sorry for him though. Well maybe just for a couple of seconds!

That "Brain Cramp" cost him a minimum of $290,000!!! I think that is the minimum the 30th player makes in the Tour Championship(tourney and Fedex monies combined). Yeah, we've all done it before....but, not with that much money on the line. The difference between Champions and wannabes....stay focused!!!
