Phil acted like a little bitch. He was down 2 going into the easiest hole on the course and knew he wasn't going to win it. Kudos to Rickie for not acting like a spoiled child.

It was VERY dark and would have been an insult had Phil made Rory basically finish his PGA Champ winning round in the morning.

A player of Phil's experience and caliber knew it wasn't over yet and, more importantly, believed he could make Eagle and Rory could make par or worse.

He had no obligation to allow anyone to play up and anyone who understands golf wouldn't blame him for employing every reasonable strategic advantage he could.

I'm personally glad they played up because I wanted to see it finish, but to criticize Phil is absurd. The pga officials are suppose to let the players make that call.
