Phil Mickelson hit a proverb

 Phil Mickelson hit a big driver, power fade down there and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to play like that. I believe [Ben] Hogan is quoted as saying, 'If you ever see me on that green, you know I've missed the shot.' Well, if Hogan was hitting a damn pitching wedge, he wouldn't have been to the right of the green. He'd have been within three feet of the cup.

 The hole was intended to be played, according to Bobby Jones, with a three iron or stronger club (for the second shot). I was behind the ropes and Phil Mickelson hit a big driver and had a pitching wedge to the green. The hole wasn't intended to be played like that.

 I had 128 yards to the front of the green, which is normally a pitching wedge. I used an 8-iron and a sand wedge to get on the green.

 Our hole 11 at Campbellsville is 404 yards and on a level surface, and he drove the green on that one -- in competition. He and I played in a golf tournament in Vegas two consecutive years, and on a 517-yard par 5 there, I saw him hit a pitching wedge 95 yards to the green.

 With a hundred and eleven yards to the green I had a sand-wedge, which was the perfect club for me. It was a little bit down wind left to right. I just tried to hit it in the middle of the green and spin it to the hole.

 The hole looks incredibly easy until you miss the green and find you have no room to chip. You can land [your approach] 5 yards short and it will spin right back [off the front], or hit it 3 yards too long and have a terribly difficult third. Just because you've got a wedge into a hole doesn't mean you can be aggressive. There are times when hitting it to 20 feet can be a very good shot.

 It was a long day for four holes. I came out hitting it really well, and then got a little unlucky on [Nos.] 3 and 4. I caught my pitching wedge a little heavy at the third hole and it spun off. The putt on the next hole just missed.

 I had an L-wedge from the middle of the fairway and I barely kept it on the green by one foot. I don't know how you're supposed to do it. We got to kind of our limit this afternoon of not being able to keep a ball on the green.

 I had a little wedge into the green and stuck it about 5 feet on a tucked pin and knocked it in the back of the cup.

 With equipment nowadays, we're seeing a lot more guys hitting drivers and trying to chip it close from 30 or 40 yards. I lay up a little more aggressively than most, at the top of the hill [about 240 yards off the tee] so I can see the whole green. That leaves me a full sand wedge, and I can control the shot a little better.

 Darren Clarke has an 8-wood in his bag because of the availability of being able to get to the green out of the rough when, normally, you couldn't. I think when you see rough as severe as it is here, instead of having to take a wedge and hit it out, you can take a wood and have a chance to get it on the green. To me, that is a player putting another club in his hand trying to take advantage of the situation.

 You know, I hit a great shot from where I was (in that divot). I was just trying to punch it down there and run it on the front of the green and it came out perfect, and it went just over the green. I had a pretty easy chip and obviously took advantage of the shot that I had and made it. A lot of emotions on that one hole.

 I totally understand what they are trying to do. You never want to see the seventh hole become a 3-wood and (a lob) wedge. You don't ever want to see No. 11 become a driver and a 9-iron. That's not what the hole was intended to be.

 Green how I love you green.
Green wind.
Green boughs.
The ship on the sea
And the horse on the mountain.
  Federico Garcia Lorca

 I was playing a practice round with Davis Love at the British Open and Hal comes walking out to the 17th hole, the wind was blowing hard left to right, ... I hit a 4-iron to the green and Davis hit it on. When we got to the green, Davis said, 'You think Hal was impressed with that?' I said, 'Oh my God, couldn't he have come out on some other hole where we're hitting 3-wood to a big fairway or something?' We laughed.
