He didn't choke on it any more than #1 is right now.
he did not choke AT ALL!!!!!!!! What are you talking about,,,,,,,,the course is set up to be bombed around.
choking is what the leaders have done for the last 12 or so holes, by not separating themselves. BG, while maybe did not play his best played a pretty damn good game, with the set up they had to play.
ROCK ON LB AND BG... ROCK ON !!!

BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE GOLFING MACHINE LIVES, THAT'S WHY!!!
There are several holes where the shorter hitters must drive to narrow fairways, e.g., 18 yards wide, while longer hitters drive to far wider fairways, e.g., 30 yards wide. Also, bunkers that pose no problem for the longer brethren are absolutely in play for the shorter. So, in addition to the length and bunker-exemption reward, the longer hitters also get the wider fairway reward.
How do I know?
I paced the respective fairways off -- in disbelief -- on Wednesday.
No excuses for BG necessary or offered. After all, Fred Funk, another short-hitter and one who just turned 53-years-old, made the cut (on the number).
But . . .
He (and BG) played a far different golf course than did most in the field.
