txgolfjunkie Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 So since we are lefties here, shall we talk about “Lefty.†Do you guys think he has enough left in him to get the US Open to complete the career grand slam or is it too late? I would take this to the main forum, but they don't all know the things we lefties do, so I'd like to keep it with us for a bit. Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I don't think Phil has the patience to win the US Open...or consistent enough off the tee. He did hit 80% of his fairways at Shinnecock but if you look at what he does with narrow fairways, he's proven he can't hit them consistently. He also can't hold back and play conservative when the time calls for it. I also believe the field of top golfers is getting larger and stronger...which is in large part due to the success and attraction of guys like Phil and Tiger. If there's a lefty out there that can win a US Open, I don't know if it's Phil Quote Cobra Connect 5 Competitor - Team Chad King Radspeed 10.5* w/ Hzrdus RDX Blue 60 6.5 tipped 1/2" - Peacoat/Red King Radspeed Big Tour 3 Wood w/ Hzrdus RDX Blue 70 6.5 Tipped 1/2" King Radspeed Tour 5 Wood w/ Motore X F1 70 X Flex King Utility 4 21* w/ Tensei Pro White 100 X Flex King Tour MIM Copper Irons 5-G w/ AMT White X100 Onyx King MIM Black Wedges 55* & 60* w/ AMT White X100 Onyx Spider SR Pro V1x Left Dash Lefty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the point about his lack of patience for the US Open. Makes complete sense as to why he can't win it because he doesn't know how to adjust his game for the moments.

Kor.A.Door Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I think he has enough to win the USOpen, but you have to be patient, and you have to just make par, you can't try to make birdies. Phil had never played golf on a conservative level, ever. Looking back at all the second place finishes he should have won at least 2 times, but his flare for going for it and pushing a bit too hard cost him on the last holes or couple of holes. Can he win it, yes, will he win it, doubtful. As someone said earlier, there are way too many top level young golfers that he has to beat. At the US open they are all there. Too many really good golfers in the field of players, and he has to beat all of them, it will take something really special for it to happen. As badly as I want it to happen, I don't think I will see it. JohnSmalls 1 Quote Lefties are always in their Right Mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
