When you come to think of it that is the secret of most of the great holes all over the world. They all have some kind of a twist. C.B. MACDONALD
Video: "Oh no not again!" Phil In The Hospitality Tent...Again!
/This time, having a night to sleep on his overgauged shot Friday from the tent, Phil Mickelson gauged the bounce off the Barclay's carpeting better even though he had to carve it over the tent and, well...you just have to watch. Unreal.
The video:
And since the tents are temporary, there will be no plaques. Just these painted remembrances, tweeted out by the Ridgewood CC Grounds account.
The first.
The 3rd round has barely begun and Phil has already done it again from the left of 5. This time he hit the green. pic.twitter.com/Z8Z33pEYdi

Video: Phil's Recovery Shot From The Hospitality Tent
/The Cameron Tringale DQ Fleshed Out...
/Interesting stuff in this reporting by Bob Harig on last week's DQ of Cameron Tringale a week after the PGA. Tringale changed his mind on a final round situation at the 11th hole where he whiffed a tap-in.
Harig quotes both Tringale and playing partner Matt Jones, who it turns out, saw the whiff and brought it up after the round. Tringale said there was no intent and the issue died. Until Tringale slept (or didn't) on the matter:
"I asked him what he had on No. 11 because we all saw what happened," Jones said after his round Thursday at Ridgewood. "Did you not make a stroke at that ball? He said there was no intent and once a player says there is no intent to make a stroke, I just left it at that and I signed the scorecard.
"When a player says there is no intent, you have to take his credibility and trust him. And he doesn't have any type of reputation to think otherwise or question him for that."
Jones said he was surprised when he learned Tringale had disqualified himself. "I thought it was over and done with as soon as he signed his card," Jones said.

/McIlroy Asks And Receives Frys.com Deferment
/Ron Kroichick reports that Rory McIlroy, who was slated to play the 2014 Frys.com Open as part of an agreement with the tour for a release to play in Turkey, has asked to put off his Frys.com appearance until 2015 and the tournament said ok.
Tiger Woods is still thought to be on tap to play this year as part of a similar agreement though no official announcement has been made for the October 9-12 event.
Judging by the hours Rory’s keeping in New York City—at least according to Page Six—he’s going to need some time off to recuperate.
