BTW: Phil's post-round media scrum on Saturday had him praising his own knowledge of the rules which inspired his jog....he went on to say that he had been thinking about such a move for a long time.   He also said that he apologized to anyone who thought his move inappropriate but added that they need to 'toughen up'.

The next day I read several reports that neutral types near him after his jog and stroke said that he told the rules official he had no idea  what his score was...and that the scorer should give him whatever he wanted and he didn't care what that score was.

That conflicts with what Phil said had happened.

I don't know for sure what some HOF'ers had to say about what Phil did but I would bet many did have a problem with it.  I look forward to Phil going up to...say...a Jack Nicklaus or an Annika Sorenstam or anyone of that stature [if they spoke in criticism of his move]...and telling them to their face that they need to 'toughen up'.

Given the spur-of-the-moment nature of it, Phil should have slept on it....and even if it was just for PR purposes...should have taken Biff's wisdom to heart.
