Most over rated out there? What? He has won four majors, has five second place finishes at the US Open, almost shot a 59 this year, and has the second most wins on tour among currently active players behind only Tiger. Phil wouldn't be criticized so much if he wasn't so good and in the spotlight.

If it wasn't for Sergio Garcia, he'd be the most over rated out there but the networks love he "aw, gee shucks, I'm a good guy" act.
Then there is this wrote:

Actually I never got that vibe from either of them, but everyone is entitled to their opinion.
Both have one thing over Phil the Phake, neither is a degenerate gambler that acts like he isn't.
Maybe that's true, but then where does Tiger stand? Whatever, nevermind.
Jim Furyk will win the Masters.

So, after the first round, Sergio is in the lead at -6, Kuchar is -4, Snedeker is -2, and Phil salvaged his round after a horrible front nine to shoot -1. Oh, and Adam Scott is -3 and great to see Fred Couples at -4.
What about Keegan?
Won $500 bucks last year picking Bubba at 25-1
Hoping to repeat this year with Steve Stricker at 30-1
Having said that, I'm not confident after day 1.

So, now that the second round is in the books care to comment on the stellar 76 your boys Phil and Sergio shot? At least man boobs made the cut.
Well at least someone is supporting Bradley. I thought the whole world agreed that he's a twat.

Nobody from the home of the start of the Boston Marathon is a what.

Tough conditions. At least Sergio hung in there and Snedeker is near the top of the leaderboard, where I figured he would be. Phil's Enbrel must not be working. Not the same golfer since he got arthritis. Still four majors, a 59 in a non-PGA sanctioned tournament, a win at the "5th" major in the Tour Championship, and 40-some odd wins total. And you call him overrated. I just though there was a little irony in you comparing him to Sergio and Sergio leading the first day. Plus, this tournament isn't over.

Your boy had better come out man boobs bouncing tomorrow.
If he can post a 54 early it'll put some pressure on the leaders!
I root for Fred Couples....he's 53 and hanging in there. Finished weakly today though.

This is comical. I picked Phil, yes, and he is having, quite possibly his worst Masters ever, but I also told you I liked Snedeker to win, and I am rooting for Kuchar and Scott (who I thought were capable of winning it). They are all in contention. Not bad. You will recall that it was you who brought up Sergio. He's not one of "my boys," as you put it. I agree, he's totally overrated. Quite unlike Phil, who held the title of #2 golfer in the world for years. Whatever. At this point, I'm pulling for Snedeker. How bold of you not to make your own pick.
Snedeker does what he does, he fell apart on the big stage. He cries, at Ryder Cups, Opens ,and again today. All the Augusta members walking around in the green jackets reminds me of 1940's Germany goosesteppers.
It's a shame he had a bad round today. Adam Scott is no longer the best player yet to have won a major, and I am pleased. I originally wanted him or Kuchar to win it. They all played well, and even Garcia finished out in the top eight.
Phil looks puffy and unhealthy, maybe the meds he is taking. Tiger actually looks old to me now, first time I really noticed it. I wonder if he will get through the year without injury.

I was thinking the exact opposite about Tiger. He's definitely one of the fittest out there and looks young considering how long he's been around. He's not done yet. Far from it.

Yep, I must concede that after winning The Open Championship, Phil is clearly the most overrated and in the same category as Sergio.
