Johnny: Just Flog It Out There

After a 5-minute Ford-NBC synergy package taped at some race track, Dan Hicks and Johnny Miller had this exchange:

Hicks: You have to have sort of a race car driver mentality out here.

Miller: What’s happening in the game of golf, in the pro game today is to just flog it out there. Vijay did it last year. He didn’t care if he hit the fairway or not. If he hits the fairway, its’ a birdie hole. If he doesn’t, he can still make birdie half the time.

A few minutes later, Tiger carried the ball 330 yards onto the 16th green, making it one of the few moments where the power game actually translated well to television.

Though somehow I doubt everyone would feel very good if Tiger did the same thing in a major on say, #18 at Olympic Club in 2012.
