It's the end of the third round of the Shell Houston Open. Phil tied the course record with a 63, and tied for lead with Verplank. GAHHH!!!
Why the GAHHH??? Well, because there are SO MANY players that are within 4 strokes of the lead who deserve the win MORE than Phil.
Here's a summary of the players in pursuit of Phil, within 4 strokes of the lead:
Scott Verplank: Suffered MANY health issues throughout his career, but he still played through all those injuries through all those years and managed to have a pretty respectable career. Wouldn't it be great if now him, at his age, be able to win again?
Aaron Baddeley: Another great guy with great short game. He already won once this year, showing that he has the game to win. Why not win again here?
Chris Kirk: Prior to this tournament I've only heard his name no more than twice. A win is highly unlikely, him winning would be one heck of an amazing underdog story.
David Hearn: Ditto to Chris Kirk. Also, plus, he's a Canadian and I'm also a Canadian, so it would be nice seeing a fellow countryman win. GO CANADA!
Anthony Kim: Kind of brash at times but still a good character in golf. He's one of these guys in my opinion who I find very easy to criticize when he plays poorly but also very easy to root for when he plays well. People have really high expectations for him, so it would be nice to see him live up to his expectations.
Steve Stricker: A very consistent veteran player with great ball striking and great putting (though his putting hasn't been that sharp since last August). His consistency is what makes him a deserving winner. Nice guy too.
Nate Smith: Ditto to Chris Kirk.
Hunter Mahan: Another good player who's had a lot of experience playing at this course, so no surprise that he's playing so well here.
Robert Allenby: Great ball striker who could play very well if his putting gets hot. Consistent so far this week.
Padraig Harrington: Had a very rough finish to the third round. Otherwise he's played very solid with great short game and putting. He deserves a win as well.
There you go, 10 reasons why Phil shouldn't win.
GO PLAYERS GO!!!
ANYBODY BUT PHIL!!!!!!
