Phil was a gallery favorite way before that chip. He relates to the gallery on a regular basis. He talks to people, hands out gloves and balls, and throws one liners around now and then. He has an agressive style of play.
Koch was right on the mark. I've seen Phil catch money from Gary McCord's tower after making a big putt. He is a bit playful at times. People love the guy...his smile, his demeanor and his style of play. If Brian Gay had made that chip, Koch wouldn't have said that. Phil is a very special player.
Tiger is a gallery favorite too...but a different kind. When he approaches a tee or green, you are looking at the most famous athlete in the world. He commands your attention. Everything he basically does makes history. He is awe inspiring.
You must write their speeches LOL
nice work!
