not sure why the pga tour doesn't just blow a horn and tell the players what to do.
anyone else get a dicckish vibe from mickelson on all that. he seems like an extremely impulsive guy so i was definitely expecting him to want to play (and of course he was very hot too)

Even if Casey did slow down needlessly (I think they easily could have finished 17), he probably maximized his chances of solo 2nd by stopping when he did. The group in front did finish 18, aided by reflected light from the big scoreboard. However, one of the players, Piercy, carelessly 3-putted to finish and cost himself something like $46K and valuable fedex points (TM).
