He's birdied it in the final round each of the last 2 years and birdied it in 2009 when he won the tournament. He wanted to go for the flag and kill Tiger off. He wanted to hit the shot that Lingmerth hit afterwards but he must have mi#### it so in the water it went. What happened after doesn't matter, he had lost his chance to beat Tiger.

Which is why he will likely never win a major. This generations version of Colin Montgomery.
It was stupid decision at a critical moment. Put it in the middle of the green and walk off tied...see what happens on 18....particularly with the difficulty that hole holds as well.
Tiger has gone into the weekend tied with Sergio for the lead 7 times now...and not only has he beat Sergio each time, he has won the tournament outright. There is a reason for that...one guy is smart about how he plays and stays patient while waiting for his opportunities, the other is a dummy who worries about everything except what will win things for him.
