Johnny: Captain Watson "Didn’t miss all those putts.”

Will Gray got Johnny Miller's assessment of the flap over Tom Watson's lousy captaincy, and includes Johnny's view that Phil Mickelson should have kept his criticisms relegated to the team room (zzzzz....) and that ultimately, it wasn't Watson who missed all those putts.

Even though Johnny wasn't wild about the Captain's strategy, either.

“That could have stayed within the walls of the PGA [of America], so to speak,” Miller said. “I guess he was a big fan of Azinger’s pod system, but that didn’t need to come out necessarily. Watson, he didn’t miss all those putts.”

That’s not to say that Miller was a fan of Tom Watson’s captaincy. While he stopped short of placing further blame at the feet of his contemporary – “I can’t say he did a bad job,” he added – Miller did strongly question Watson’s decision to sit Mickelson and Keegan Bradley for the entire day Saturday.

“That, I’d like to hear that from Watson, because that was pretty weird,” he said. “I could see them not playing in foursomes, alternate shot, because they weren’t driving it very good, but fourball you have to go with that team. So that was very strange.”

Mostly, Johnny just credited the Europeans with great play and who is going to disagree with that?
