Should Lee have stuck with Billy?

[Blue in Munich]

Anyone think that Lee might have fared a little better today with Billy Foster still on the bag? Seemed very tense, which is understandable, would Billy have kept him a little more relaxed? I think it might have been the difference that got him home.

Poor shot selection time and again, someone said Lee had the worst round in the top 20??

Shame would have liked to see him win it

 

[Doon frae Troon]

He lost the Open with a 3 club underclub on the 7th.
Billy would have sorted him.
So.....yes.

Think I have just watched Phil win rather than Lee lose...

And, yes I also think Billy would've kept Lee more 'focused'...

It was a bit of both to be fair

You are of course right...

But I am old school and prefer to praise the winner ahead of putting the boot in to those that came up short...

Hard to say,but he never won a major with Billy on the bag.really thought he was going to do it this time.

Billy's only a few weeks back from a long lay-off injured
BMW PGA may have been his first week back.
He'd have to have proved his fitness before taking a Full-Time bag.
I doubt he'd have made much difference today - Lee knew what he had to do, just didn't do it.

Don't think it was a great surprise to anyone that Lee couldn't finish it off today. Maybe his best chance to finally get a major will be to score low on Sunday from 4 shots off the lead. Don't think the caddy is terribly relevant to be honest, I'm sure the new guy knows his stuff just as well as Billy.

Bingo. Billy never got him home before, no reason to think he would of done this time. Shame for him and I hope he does bag one to avoid being a 'Monty'.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Anyone know if Foster and Westwood plan to get together once he is fully fit. I do think Billy might have clubbed him differently but ifs and maybes litter golf

 

[pbrown7582]

Billy's not won a major either I don't think.
Don't think it would of made any difference maybe a draw with Tiger like yesterday would of worked better for both Westy and tiger?

wouldnt have made a jot of difference:lol:
