Are these pros, or not? Phil is performing as he always does---good, bad, bad, bad, okay, good, bad, etc. Was Tiger holding the poor boy back? LOL, I really don't think so. He's currently in a downtime. I think we're spoiled by Tiger's consistency. No one else is that steady and ready every week. Although, check the FedEx points for steady surprises -- Kenny Perry (not on the Winners list?), Kim, Cink, Vijay. Based on hype vs results, the loser list could be a mile long. Frankly, no one has let me down in the least (except Michelle, but only philosophically). I don't expect great things, and I relish them when they happen. Thank you, Padraig.

He had the best opportunity to enhance his reputation in Tiger's absence but failed to do so. On the other hand, to be fair to Phil, the British Open (links golf) has never suited him, which means he had but one chance (the USPGA) to exert his dominance. He didn't have a good week (and this could happen to anyone in any given week) yet still finished in the top 10. Nonetheless, it's good to see a "new force" in golf in the form of the unassuming Padraig Harrington. On the one hand I couldn’t agree more with the comment about Phil.
