Would you consider poor judgement under the pressure to be a mental choke? What possessed Molinari to hit at the flag on 12? It looked like an attempt at a straight shot unless he pushed it. And, since I didn't see the layup on 15, was it a pull or just hit too far?
Do you think that Koepka's water ball on 12 was an overcut fade that ballooned in the wind, or a poor decision to go for the flag? How about Finau's shot?

Did you read that Wright Thompson story in ESPN about him a couple years ago? He has a personality that is very ill-equipped to be an international superstar. Even back when he was a kid and at Stanford, he was a really shy and nerdy guy, and I thought in his prime he just seemed like an a**hole. I was a teenager when he was in his prime and he was the guy everyone my age liked, but I couldn't stand him. When he was winning seemingly every other major, I always hoped he'd choke and someone else would win.
A huge part of the reason I wanted him to win last week was that he does seem like a different person, to an extent. He laughs at himself, doesn't do the theatrics he used to on the golf course, and overall seems like a more mature, reasonable person. Of course, he's 43 years old now. He should be.
