Southern Oregon Coast. Absolutely beautiful. Here are a couple of pictures.

Maybe, but at the end of the day he's like most American golfers and hits the ball too high to win a British, IMO. Phil is a magician going at a green when he can toss a ball high in the air and let the spin rate do the work when the ball makes impact with the green. I just don't know if his bump and run, low-ball game has progressed enough to give him a shot on an annual basis. Yes, there are a couple of top 5s in his career over the pond, but for the most part he's middle of the pack at best.

Phil can do any shot, the problem is that he can do any shot.

Disagree. He might be able to hit any shot, but he doesn't hit every shot well. The announcers were even discussing, while Phil was on the range this morning, how much work he's had to put into his knockdown game, that it's unnatural for him. There's a reason he's been generally unsuccessful at the British Open. He's acknowledged his difficulty with the conditions overseas - because his style of play really isn't conducive for those conditions.
