    I like that Phil's celebratory vertical leap has decreased from 1-inch at the 2004 Masters to not even trying anymore.

    A little anticlimactic,but a great win for the anti-tiger.
    4 birdies in the last 6 holes.Great finish on that course.Good job Phil.
    tiger whining about how he couldn't figure out the speed of the greens.This is becoming his catch phrase.
    He just can't keep the putter going.
    Wanted Westwood to hold on but he faltered.
    Oh well,on to Oak Hill where tiger will extend his Major drought.

    kinda sucked that everybody folded like a cheap suit on the back 9 ... was soooo close to $5,000 on the golf pool ... :fp:

    give it to phil tho ... that guys goes big or goes home ... and any course that doesn't require you to hit driver - phil should always be the favourite ...

    if you try to climb a steep rocky hill, this little bunker raker will flip over backwards......and land on you. I knew I shouldn't have been climbing that hill but tried anyway. I'm just glad the fucker didn't catch fire.....still running and gas everywhere. lesson learned :oops:

    I'd like to say the golfing world lost a legend, but in fact the world lost one of its greatest people. Jim Langley was one of the nicest human beings to ever walk the face of the Earth and while I am so pleased to know he is now pain free & no longer suffering - it still hurts.
    What a life this gentleman lived...
    1959 NCAA Basketball Champion (w/ Cal Bears)
    Marine
    PGA Tour Player
    Head Pro at Cypress Point Golf Club
    Super husband, father, family man
    Great friend to all...
    Taught me that gratitude in life determines your greatness...

    RIP Jim Langley...I am forever grateful to have known you.

    Two classic Jim Langley tales:

    Quite possibly the nicest man on the planet is an understatement.

    I first met Mr. Langley on May 22, 1991 on one of those life-changing experience days we all tend to exerience once or twice in our lives. No, I didn't play Cypress, but, took a chance, walked into the pro shop and asked this kind man behind the counter to please not call the police on me for trespassing on private grounds. "I just want your answer to be, that the police are waiting for me at the gates. Please go out there quietly or, you just hung up the phone with the police and I've got five minutes head start to get out of here!" Mr. Langley laughed, and I interrupted him again, "you have to let me finish, to let the rejection be complete! Could I please play this golf course?!?!?!"

    His response was Langley-classic, in that mild-mannered voice, "I've heard them all, but your's was the best one yet, and unfortunately, no, you can't play, but I'm not going to call the police. You can however take a scorecard!" Which I still have in my copy of MacKenzie's Golf Architecture today. He then suggested that I go down to Spanish Bay, which I did and which did change my life from an experience I had there. And when I walked to the counter to see about walking on, the pro asked me if I had just been up at Cypress, which I replied, yes! "Well, Mr. Langley called and asked me to take care of you."

    Reliving that experience years later with Jim, he didn't remember, and it was simply because he touched so many the same way so many times. I'm grateful to have known him. Eternally grateful.
    -Tom Naccarato

    There is another Langley story where this cop from the Bay Area was vacationing with his family on the Monterey Peninsula. The young man had recently taken to the sport and was simply golf crazy.

    While looking for Spyglass, he got turned around and and thought he had found it, got out of the car and went to the putting green and started practicing. Seeing what looked like an out of place tourist on Cypress Point property intrigued Mr. Langley, and he went out on to the putting green to investigate. When he asked, can I help you, the typical conversation started up:

    New Golfer: Yes, I'm here to play, but wanted to practice my putting. I haven't been playing long and the putting drives me nuts!
    Jim Langley: Well, yes,it's an intricate part of the game. It takes a lot of practice!
    New Golfer: That's the problem! I'm a cop and work a lot of hours, plus with my wife....
    Jim Langley: What time was your tee time?
    New Golfer: I didn't have one. I was going to see if I could get on as a single.
    Jim Langley: You're in luck! I was just going to tee off, you could join me if you like.

    And away they went!

    The entire time,this young cop not knowing he was not at Spyglass, but at one of the most exclusive club's in the world.

    I was told that eventually,during the round, he explained exactly where was at and where he was playing and eventually he left the police force and became a much respected club pro, all with the help of Jim Langley.
