He did lip out an easy putt on 14 or 15. He also missed the putt on 18, which he probably would have done even if it meant anything. He went into the water on 16, which you just cannot do. I still say Paddy won this thing. He deserved it. Those 3 putts down the stretch, really incredible based on the pressure he had on him to execute them. Sergio will never win a major.
That's what they said about Mickelson and he's now won 3. It wouldn't break my heart if Sergio never won one, but I suspect he will before he hangs 'em up.
Paddy's got a long way to go before anyone tries to put him in Tiger's league. Sure, he's hot right now. So was Duval a few years ago. So was Mickelson. So was Bob May in the PGA a few years ago, but right now he's on the Nationwide tour. Do it for 12 years in a row and I'll start making comparisons.
