Sorta piling on, but I marshalled the '03 Open at Shinnecock
Phil was insufferable during the practice rounds. Everything was about the money they
had wagered within his foursome. He loudly proclaimed it every time I was anywhere near him.
Talked to a few players and they brought up, unsolicited, that they didn't care for him.
His dad was a big issue too, but it was only things I heard 2nd, 3rd hand.
Evidently he has exclusive rights, or did, to sell those periscopes spectators use.
Lastly, Henrik Stenson did yoga at every tee and that Viking can put himself into a pretzel. We were all like, what just happened here? Big time athletes are just different.
