Lehman Misses 18 inch putt
Now I know that Lehman is supposed to be a pro golfer, and as a pro golfer should have nerves of steel. But, Tommy Boy needs to say a prayer next time he gets over an 18 incher for $170k.
I know I've missed many putts in my life during a $1 or $5 game, from short range, but $170k from 18 inches is the reason why I'm in school and not playing on the PGA Tour.
I feel bad for Tom, but come on Tom! You are going to lead our US Squad up against the Europeans in the Ryder Cup, and you need to believe in yourself enough to give our team confidence on an 18 incher to win the Cup!

He already knew he'd lost by that point. So, perhaps he wasn't quite concentrating fully. Can't blame him much, and you can't have it both ways. Obviously it's not "all about the money" to at least one pro or he'd have concentrated a bit more.
erik's right. by that point, lehman knew tiger won, after battling him the entire day. it was a let down. you could see it on his face after Tiger made his putt.
Not to belabor a point, but ever since Paul Casey made his comments, I've been watching him this year. In the Sony, he shot the same score as a 15 year old girl. That has to sting a little.
Then, in the last tournament, the man he berated (perhaps with some reason, but still, his comments were directed at Tom directly) finished tied for 2nd (should have finished sole second as discussed previously) while Paul shot a horrendous first round and dropped out of the tournament.
It shouldn't, but it put a smile on my face.
