    Phil is so human. He plays from bad lies and under the trees as much as an amateur golfer. Difference is he makes his best shots from the worst situations. Always been a high risk high reward golfer and has always been my favorite modern golfer.

    I know he missed the putt, but that shot in 2010 from the pine grass on 13 was sublime.

    Number 7 should be in the top 3 that is very difficult to pull off just to get it on the green but he also made that shot
