Oooh ... so close for Barnes.

Yeah, I didn't notice but that would have put him in 2nd all alone. Big money difference. What was that put worth right there? 500,000?

69-64-70. That'll do it.

I wonder if Tiger bitched about conditions and how he was at a disadvantage having to play in the rain on thursday?

Mickelson's consistent solid play in all 4 rounds couldn't have created a more signature choke opportunity on the 17th. Great execution.

You're crazy. His rounds have been anything but consistent with tons of birdies and bogeys. Plus he shot a 70 which would be one of the better rounds of the day.

No argument, 69-70-69-70 appears more consistent than it actually was, and I tried to make my point too elegantly.

Next time I'll just run with "Classic choke job by Mickelson!"

Its amazing how great a golfer Mickelson is yet how consistently he chokes in the majors.

ROFL, Phil's got one in the record books now. I knew he was runner up a few times, but not this many.

"1:38 p.m. ET: Phil Mickelson now owns the dubious distinction of owning the most career U.S. Open second-place finishes. Here is the list:

? Phil Mickelson: 5 (1999, 2002, 2004, 2006, 2009)

? Jack Nicklaus: 4 (1960, 1968, 1971, 1982)

? Arnold Palmer: 4 (1962, 1963, 1966, 1967)

? Sam Snead: 4 (1937, 1947, 1949, 1953)

? Robert T. Jones Jr.: 4 (1922, 1924, 1925, 1928)

Of those players, only Mickelson and Snead never won the U.S. Open."
