The two par 5's had to be a little bit disappointing on Saturday...not sure what happened.
Yeah, those were tough, especially #18, the second-easiest hole of the week.
Kip argued for driver. Brian liked 3-wood.
Thursday, BG cut a 3-wood into the right bunker, got it out and made birdie with a wedge from 97 yards.
Friday, he hooked driver into, in Kip's words, the "only impossible place" in the left bunker (under the lip) and made par.
Saturday, it was BG's choice of 3-wood, but he cut it again. This time . . . Bogey.
Sunday, another 'discussion' between the two, and it was 3-wood into the magnetized right bunker. Then out, on and birdie.
For several reasons, Kip still thinks driver is the right choice and was very frustrated, even after the closing birdie (and a 4-under 31 inward nine) at tourney's end. For an equal number of reasons, Brian thinks 3-wood and defended that choice mano-o-mano in the interview area after signing his card:
Kip: You gotta hit driver on that hole.
Brian: I never hit it a good shot, so you can't say 3-wood is wrong.
Life on the PGA TOUR . . .
The best of the best.
Strong players.
Strong caddies.
These are two strong guys, and they make a great team.
